Hello every one
Hello
I just signed up to this forum a few minutes ago and just wanted to say hi, and how thrilled I am to now be a part of the Corvette family. I just pirchased my very first 2017, C7 Grand Sport 1LT package with NPP Exhaust! I bought the car off the show room floor from Sherwood Park Chevrolet in Sherwood Park Alberta. I posted pictures of it in my albums. I also orderd but hasn't come in yet, the ACC Fuel kit rail. It has a seven speed standard with the Rev matching feature. Now I can't wait till spring to take it out and experience it!
I've Red great things about the new Grand Sport and this is my very first Corvette!
Cheers!

Thanks guys. Unfortunately the car is still sitting at the dealership because I wasn't aware that it has the Michelin super sport summer only tires and below minus 7 The tires could crack so we're waiting on a warmer day so I can put it in the car trailer and bring it out to my place. It looks like next Sunday and Monday it's going to get down to -1-2 so I figure that would be the best day to bring it home! 👍

Welcome... I also just bought my 1st Corvette. Brought it home in November & joined the CF community in December. It's a 2017 2LT GS convertible w/ manual trans. in Admiral Blue. I live in NY. I've been able to put about 600 miles on so far. What a blast to drive! Can't wait for April! Or at least some milder weather. Got it up on a set of Flatstoppers, plugged in to a battery tender & installed a heater in the garage. Got to take care of the new "baby".

Nice ride! Does yours have the competition seats? Mine has the standard seats. That's the only thing I sort of wish it had the competition seats. I was told the competition seats are harder and more uncomfortable but I sure do like the looks of them! Congratulations on your purchase ! That convertible is going to be beautiful to drive on the nice hot sunny days ! 😎
