You came to the right place to find a vette and to learn about them. Welcome to the Corvette Forum.

Well, I do have to say that his forum has helped me tremendously. Thanks to the information found here is looks like I found the car I've been after. I just got off the phone with Tim at Boardwalk Chevrolet in Redwood, CA. Here is the car:

2011 Grand Sport, Velocity Yellow exterior, Ebony interior, 3LT Package, 6 speed Manual, Cyber Gray Headlights, F55 Ride Control, Comp Gray Wheels, Dual Mode Exhaust, Navigation, Heritage Package, Cyber Gray Stripes, Full Width Spoiler.

Now the waiting begins as the build date is Dec. 5. Looks like Christmas shopping for me is done.

Well I just got the call a little bit ago that the car has been built and invoiced but apparently has not been shipped just yet. I'll deal with the financing tomorrow and be one step closer to actually having the car.

Well almost there. I got a call tonight and found out the car was loaded up on the 23rd and on its way to California. Dealer thinks it could be here by Friday. It's so close now I can almost smell the exhaust.
