Default Finally got my C7!

Hey guys! After having a C5 back in the day I knew I wanted to get back into a corvette! Was able to pick up this amazing 2015 Z51 2LT over the weekend after looking for a few months.

28k miles, M7, Competition Seats, Mag Ride, Carbon Roof and full ceramic coating. Such an amazing car! Can’t wait to enjoy it more and throw some mods on it.

Enjoy!

Thanks a lot for the kind welcome! the car is fantastic and I can't wait to learn a bunch on this forum.

My first 'new' Corvette was a 2003 Torch Red Z06. It was such a fun car to drive.

My recent purchase, a 2014 Torch Red Z51 M7 Corvette is far superior in so many ways over the C5.

The C5 was a radical platform change that frankly lead an evolutionary change in the Corvette. You will enjoy the C7.
