Default Considering first Corvette
I have been lurking a while now and am very close to ordering a 19' Z06 LT2 M7. Thank you to all that have posted and continue to post, this is a fantastic reference for someone that has never had a Corvette before. I have been in Ford's for quite a while, admiring the Vette from a distance.

You won’t regret it. My previous 3 sports cars were Mustangs. Went with a 17 2LZ M7 for my first Corvette and have zero regrets. They are amazing 👍🏻
