My first Corvette as well. Congrats. . There's a lot of information on this forum and plenty of knowledgeable people who are glad to answer any question you have. It generally remains civil and unsarcastic. You may get advice to "Read the Manual" and that's OK.

Congrats on the new spastic plastic. I’m still looking myself. I can’t afford a new car but I’m thinking a 2LT with the Z51 option and Magnetic Ride Control would be perfect (for me anyway). Were you fortunate enough to get a new car?

You have come to right place. Of all the forums I have been a part of this by far the best. Positive brand attitude with great information.
