Default The Dark Side is Strong!!!

Well after many years of bleeding blue I finally broke down and purchased my first GM product. Love the sound of this thing!!! I think it will fit in with the rest of the fleet!!

Well it all started when we rented a C7 for the week and drove up the California coast this last fall. It was an amazing trip and I am by no means a fan of convertibles but I liked it so much that when I started looking for a Z it had to be a vert... I think it just looks better this way!!! So I started the search and thought it would take a while to find "The One" but low and behold I found it local... only 25 miles from the house... This was a 2017 left over and couldn't pass up the deal!

I always try to convey that in the "coupe vs convertible" threads when the coupe guys, who have never spent time in a convertible, are so adamant that they'd never want a convertible.

Drive one.

Great looking car.
All you need now is to lower it an inch and it will be perfect.

Congrats!

I did the same thing... had a couple GT500s and jumped into a Z06. I plan to purchase a ‘19 GT500 when available... or not, pending the ridiculous ADMs that are being speculated. Although, the new ZR1 is tempting, and the C8 isn’t too far out. A lot of cool cars, but happy with my Z... for now.
