Well I pulled the trigger today. Thanks to Adam at MacMulkin. Trading my Porsche Cayman in for a 2024 2LT Silver Flare Metallic with 2 tone red and black interior. Now the waiting game begins. Got to have it shipped to me here in Texas. This will be corvette number 4.

Me too. I’ve narrowed it down to HTC 24/25 and 718S CPO or poverty spec order.
