Default First Corvette :)

Finally....after a long wait, a lot of research. I am a Z06 owner. Had the car delivered about a week ago. Unfortunately because of the weather in Ma. I don't see myself driving it for a while....but...I have it!

Details on the car, Z07 package, 3LZ, CF and transparent roof, red interior with comp seats, etc. Originally had the stinger stripe but I had it removed as I like the cleaner appearance. Should be a worthy successor to my 2013 Shelby Vert.






I am pretty excited and can't wait for spring!

Beautiful car! Congrats. Who did you use for shipping? Did you leave the front splitter on for shipping?

Thanks
