Default Hello from Miami - First Corvette
Hello, I'm Chris. From Georgia but currently in Florida. For the past year I've been cross-shopping Porsche Cayman/Boxter, Used 911s, Mustang GT350, Jaguar F-Type, and the Corvette. On June 6th, 2015 I placed an order for the GT350 in Competition Orange. I held that order until March 14th, 2016. The day I walked into a Chevrolet dealer and walked out with a new C7 2LT Z51.

I don't know why I changed my mind so late into the order process but I've had nothing but the largest smile on my face since.

Glad to be here, this will be my first Corvette. Have a lot planned but I'm in no rush. I say that but I've already lowered on stock bolts, put on a Corsa X-Pipe, and tinted the windows

Those were all great cars but you won't regret your choice.

Yeah I figured as much. I guess the C7 just aligned better with what I wanted
