Just ordered/w allocation 4/08
I'm early geezer age (67) and this is my first Corvette since a 1967 424 coupe. Autoweek last Saturday had an article showing a Corvette running down the Fla Keys. That started it. Wednesday I test drove and yesterday (wonderful, beautiful,awesome sport car) I put money down on the order.
Crystal Red, Black interior, Auto, 2LT, Z51, QX3 chrome wheels, CC3 transparent roof, NPP dual-mode exhaust.
Been on this board for hours now learning about what I just ordered. I must say that I feel younger all ready. Well my body doesn't but I do.
Looks like a great forum and I believe I'll have a steep learning curve. As my name implies, I have a lot of jet aircraft time and retired as an airline captain. Max EPR= maximum engine pressure ration or pedal to the metal in old jet airplane speak.
I fully expect to have a great Corvette Summer
and can hear the Beach Boys in the background now.
My playground will be primiarily Washington, Idaho and Montana with at least one trip to the East coast from Seattle.
I ought to stop in Chicago for a Cubs game and some apple pie.

Welcome to the forum. I got my first one at 60. You need to cruise on down to Reno, NV for "Hot August Nights". You can find lots of info on the net about the event. Have a great time with your new toy.
