I purchased my first Corevette in January 2019 and I LOVE IT! I bought a 2014 Z51 Stingray 3LT with an Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger, 360 Forged Rims, and Carbon Fiber Interior Trim. I have found a lot of great information regarding small issues that I have had in the past and figured I should join so I can ask questions and help others that are having issues similar to mine.
