Ordered my first Corvette
I have been a foreign car for over 2 decades with a couple of Teslas being my only American cars. When I read about the c8 at the unveiling, I just loved the performance bargain the C8 will be and put the deposit down on 8/1. She will join an R8 Spyder and a Tesla Model S in the stable -- I'm selling my Honda S2000 to cover some of the C8 costs. My build came out to just over $73k with the only non-go fast goodie being yellow calipers. (Arctic White with Z51 + FE4 + comp seats + microfiber steering wheel + high wing + PDR which requires IOT). So happy to join the community.

Appreciate the welcome from everyone - I'm looking for my C8 in summer of 2020 so I can fly to CO for pickup and take a 10 day road trip home to Las Vegas ( want to avoid any bad weather ) - planning an epic road trip over some of the best driving roads I can find ! Figure that's the best way to break the new car in!
