Been a long time coming....
According to my profile I've been a member since 2009. I remember thinking of getting a C5 at the time yet never could pull the trigger. Full disclosure, my wife seriously hates Corvettes and we've both kind of made fun of them together for years. When the C8 came out, now that was a different Vette. Loved the looks and knew that was the one I'd eventually get. I don't keep these 3rd cars for long and if they make it 2 months that's a long time. Just signed the paperwork tonight for a 2020 C8 in Rapid Blue. Always wanted black but my 17yr old got to choose the color so Rapid Blue it is. Should be picking it up next weekend. That'll be an entertaining story....
Seriously excited to get this C8. Finally!

Congrats on your C8 and hope you'll post up some pics once you take delivery of the car.
Moving this thread over to C8 General where other C8 owners can offer some comments.

As someone who currently has a black and rapid blue Corvette, you made the right choice by far. JMO.
