Default Just placed my order

After almost a year of debating, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a Grand Sport Coupe. I spent months lurking on here reading about different things. After a long period of thinking and consideration, I ordered a 2013 Grand Sport Coupe. It's Cyber Metallic Grey with the Heritage Package that has Red Stripes, Red Calipers, Black Wheels, Black Badges, ZR1 Spoiler, and Black/Red interior. I also opted to get the Magnetic Ride Control. I'm taking delivery at the Museum sometime in December. This is my first Corvette. I've grown up loving them, my grandpa has an 81' that I've envied for the longest time. I will finally own one of my own, and I can't wait. I've been active in forums for the past cars I've owned, so I look forward to joining another internet family. Just wanted to introduce myself and say Hi.

Congratulations and good choice. And that is totally unbiased even though I have a 2009 Cyber Gray coupe with a black and red interior.

I've had mine almost one year now and each day just gets better.

Remember a few things, the front is longer than you think and the chin is lower than you are used to so definitely stop short when parking nose in to a curb or parking block. Also, they do have windshield wipers so don't be afraid to use it whenever you want. I took mine out in the rain yesterday and enjoyed the ride.

Have fun.

Thanks for the tips. I see your in Hudson. I'm about 35 miles west of Cleveland. Maybe we could meet up sometime. What type of exhaust do you have?
