Hey all,
New member here from the N. Phoenix area. I've been a lurker for the last few months prior to the purchase of C7. A huge shoutout to this forum as it provided some valuable information and insight, which helped with my ultimate choice in C7s. I worked out a beneficial trade deal of my beautiful Superformance MkIII Cobra for a stunning, very gently used, '17 GS Convertible. Through information found on this forum, I've already swapped out the OEM Brembo brake pads for a full set of ceramic pads.
Cheers!

Thanks everyone. I was really looking for a LBR GS vert, but I couldn't find one with the option combination that I wanted. I came across this one and the stars aligned for the trade deal that I made. WGG was a close second choice to LBR, but I wasn't really sold on the black wheels. The more that I look at it, especially with the red calipers, it really grows on me.
Maybe someday I'll order a ZR1 vert. in LBR just the way I want it.
