Hello all.
This is my first trip into the Corvette world and I am enjoying it greatly.
I had a GTO for five years and traded it on a 2008 Z06 with 10K miles. I heard the dealership sold the GTO in less than five days too. It probably retained the most resale value of any car I have owned as I got 1/2 of what I paid new for the five year old car trade in. I was looking at M3's and 911's but I really liked this car from the first time I looked at it. I do like handling of the two cars above but they were missing HP and TQ that I am addicted to having. The GTO was nice and comfy with good accel but this car is a beast. Tint and clear bra went on today and the V1 gets hardwired tomorrow. The dealer is replacing the curbed front splitter. I also got the extended warranty for 6 years/75k miles so I will not mod much...at first anyway.
Thanks for all the great info on this site.
