I have wanted a Corvette Stingray since I was 7 years old. I bought my 2016 Z51 3LT Corvette Stingray in September. 42 more years was worth the wait.
It is my daily driver, I've put all but 3 miles of the 10k I have on it already.
I am joining the forums to get more experienced opinions on care and track use. I will post in those individual forums.
My first Corvette!!!
