2 Years, 26000 miles, a trip around the US and Canada and another doing Eastern US and Canada, not to mention several meets weekly. I still smile ever time I have a seat.

Yeah well, I usually drive it every other weekend, but I take it on two hour tours to Los Angeles, Long Beach, San Diego, etc. So when I do drive it, it's for the entire weekend to surrounding fun cities.

Early adopter here built in the 2nd week of production. June 5th will be 2.5 year delivery anniversary. 11000 miles later I still love mine and have had no thoughts of selling which is not typical for me. Being an early adopter has had the added benefit of not having to be enticed by a new model coming out shortly after the purchase
​​​​​​
I have no interest in a ME car and likely will go to the dark side and add a Viper to the garage sooner than later... but i will be keeping the Z for the long haul

Like most others here, the car makes me smile whenever I think of it. Going into my 3rd summer with our 2015. Love the car!

It will be my last corvette-----plan on keeping this one until I can't drive anymore. Sure, a 750 HP ZR1 would be great, but realistically, at some point one has to say enough is enough (my wife said that to me two corvette ago), and the 650 HP is it for me at my age..............it is more than enough power to keep me happy................very happy.

No worries. Stunning car

My Z was built on first day of production and I took delivery on first day....anyone else remember the paperwork scandal? Drove it nearly every day since. 40k miles later and I'm still in love. I do feel like this is the longest I've driven a car without a "better" model coming out. As I'm 35 I'll def get rid of it at some point but I'm not rushing into anything else anytime soon.

Best,
Gene

I kept my last Vette for 14 years and 131K miles. Plan on doing the same with this one. I never understood owners who want to keep the miles low and sell down the road. All that does is give the new buyer a great car for a low price. The numbers of Zs produced make them a poor investment. I say, drive it like you stole it. Better for you to enjoy it first.

I have only had mine a month and 600+ miles already. Love driving this beast. I said I would never sell my last one as well as my vert ZL1 but they are gone so when I said I would never get rid of this one my girl laughed and my dealer said see you in a year or so. Lol. But like Funz06 said it's enough. Always had a DB9 on my dream list but it would be going to far backwards in performance.

I've got the same color, VERY happy with mine!! Since they are going to stop making BRM, that might help us hold values, besides, this is the first Vette I bought that I did not have to go out and paint the right color!!
