Thanks
Hi Folks,
After a six month wait, my C8 Z51 was finally delivered to my dealer! Sea Wolf Gray with a GT 2 Black / Red interior. Think I may have cheaped out on the wheels. Took the stock silver ones instead of the gloss black for a grand. Oh well. Thanks to all who helped with information and support along the way. I'll post pictures once the snow clears from Rochester.

Yep, first Vette. Never wanted one till the alternatives I was interested in became far too costly. Still own an 1977 Lotus Esprit. Hope the Vette is more reliable. Keeping the Lotus till March of 2027 when it will be a 50 year old, one owner car. Photos will follow soon.

I chose optional wheels so that I would never be tempted to spend extra $$$ to replace them (I'm cheap) ... By going with the base wheels you won't feel bad when it's time for something fancy.
I'll say... Good on ya.
