New to Corvettes and here...
Hi all,
I'm Paul. I live in Northern California. I own a 2015 C7 Stingray coupe. I really haven't been into cars until I bought this Vette. I grew up on motorcycles and currently own a Ducati Panigale, Kawasaki Ninja 1000 and a KTM 690R. I've had Brit sports cars in the past, the Corvette is a whole lot more car!
I bought my car with the 7-speed manual. It just seems more appropriate for a sports car. And I LOVE driving it! I plan to upgrade the wheels and the grille to Z07 components. Other than those two cosmetic items though, I can't think of anything else I'd change. Again, I love it!!!
Anyway, just checkin' in and saying hello.
-Paul :-)

I've never been a motorcycle guy myself, but I imagine that what you have now is the 4-wheeled equivalent of a Ducati ...
