I flew to Dearborn Michigan to pick up and drive home my new Sebring Orange convertible. During the whole experience , a few impressions occurred to me.
The fit and finish are outstanding. Every seam was straight and the paint was flawless. The interior is beautiful, particularly with the orange deviated stitching and the orange seat belts.
The sound on start-up and acceleration is unbelievable. The dealership, Les Stanford, and my salesman, Dennis tap, couldn't have been more accomodating.
The cabin has a very comfortable seating position, even after 6 hours of sometimes very annoying traffic.
The driving is fantastic. I've had some really nice cars and this Vette can stay toe-to-toe with all of them.
The infotainment system is dated. Luckily, with Apple Car Play, it mostly doesn't matter
The car is very orange. Until I get my radar detector/laser jammer, I'm not going to exceed the speed limit by 1 mph. It draws a LOT of attention, for better or worse.
To sum up my first 2 days of ownership, I am thrilled and couldn't be happier.

Congrats OP. But truly a Cardinal sin around these parts with NO PICS! lol
Best of luck with the car it sounds beautiful. You got 3 things I was warned by the wife she wouldn't let me live in peace if I did..
1.ZR1 (over a new Z06 price ca ap being 100k)
2.Orange (i love it she hates it even after Carlisle where there were dozens)
3.Vert (had opportunity to order last Z06 vert made 4 5 days after they stopped taking orders through Mike Furman.. was told "you'll never drive it I kn now you")
Now.... where's the Pics??

Looks great and congrats ! I think the small wing looks best on the convertible.

I thought about it, but in the end it made no sense for me. You can’t track a convertible, and I’m not interested in the track anyway.
According to my dealer, the tires that come with the ZTK package aren’t great in the rain.
Finally, I thought that the high wing looked funny on the convertible. My personal opinion.
BTW, nice color combo.
