Default I Pulled the Trigger

Well I just stepped up from my C6 a 2007 Monterey Red 3LT coupe to this stunning 2015 Velocity Yellow 3LT coupe. This was just after I brought it home. Now I begin the process of detailing it. Wash, clay polish and then ceramic coating. Thai is of course as long as the new tropical depression does not hit near here next week.

C6 now gone.


New C7

Well only having it a couple of days it is a little hard to make a comparison, but it is definitely more more complex than the C6. It is a dream to drive, but then again, the C6 was a Z51 with American long tubes, X-Pipe and high flow cats with the Borla Exhaust. tunes as well as the transmission so in the Sport mode the shifts were snaps. I have been wanting to move up to the C7 so at 77 years young. I decide it was now or never.

Must have been tough to let go of that pretty C6 after all the after market upgrades, but the C7 will grow on you as a wise choice for your "last" Corvette. Enjoy and save the wave!

Nice noticed you are from Sebring, FL I live about 49 minutes from the track. Do you do the Corvette Corral for the 12 Hours of Sebring. Also enjoy the Fantech races like this weeked as it is not nearly as crowded but Green Park is closed.

Love the yellow color on Vettes, but that's a nice looking C6 too.
