Hey guys....new here too. Bought an 07 a month ago as a b-day present. Black/manual transmission. Hopefully it'll grow on me because honestly, I'm not enjoying it....but I'll give it a chance.

Have a good one.

Welcome! I'm confused though. How can't anyone enjoy a Vette?

Welcome aboard. Sorry your first impressions have not been positive on the new Corvette. Hopefully time and driving will change your mind and win you over. Best of luck.

Hi I just got my new vette--07 vy coupe. It rides better than my daily driver, has much better seats, and gets all the looks. Hang in there

I don't know man...I've worked so hard to get it and now that I got it...I'm treating it like it's made of glass. Baby(ing) it too much. If you would have asked me this 5 years ago if I think I could afford something like this, I'd laugh.

Congrats on the new vette! Usually these models come with a ton of big grins and many folks wanting a ride. Perhaps these options have not been discovered yet. Take a little time to watch the DVD that came with it also. I am sure you will discover these options before long and take full advantage of them.
