Default New Ride!

Hi guys and gals! After 5 years, I finally replaced my ‘92 c4 vette that was totaled for a tree that fell on it.

2015 base M7 with the ZF1 package. 27,000 miles. Bought it last Saturday!

Congrats on a beautiful car. I was in an 87 years back and came back to Corvette with my 17 M7. You will love the M7. I might recommend the Soler Throttle Body as an excellent upgrade. Makes the off idle throttle response much smoother for easy launches. Highly recommended. Enjoy it.

I think White on the C7 is the best generation for white with all the Black accents and red. Goes back to the 1953 C1 but way better looking . Enjoy the new ride !
