Congrats, I really enjoy my C7, get ready for all the thumbs up everywhere you go. Don't forget the Corvette wave. I bought a 4 yr warranty from Chevy because of all the electronics and it's saved me half of the cost in the first 18 months replacing screen. There's two vendors here, just don't buy it in Florida as it costs more.

OP, is this your first Corvette or first C7? If it's both I suggest going through the "stickies" at the top of the C7 page. I'm a new C7 owner and there's a lot of great info in them.

The more I see pics of Stingrays with side skirts the more I'm thinking I need to put in an order to ACS.

Congrats on a great looking car!

I bought her myself, my first Corvette, and I didn't want to wait another year or longer since these Z51's, 7 speed with the mag ride have been disappearing fast. I just turned 50 this past year, figured it's time to enjoy life a little more with this crazy past year. Thank you for all the congratulations and helpful comments, I have a lot to learn about the C7. I look forward to getting to know my Corvette family. :-) I'll be joining the Northern Virginia Corvette Club very soon. Stay healthy, stay safe, my fellow Corvette owners. Drive on!
