Hi everyone!

Just ordered my first Corvette! Can’t believe I will finally have a Corvette, and the first mid-engine! Unbelievable, my dream car since I was a little kid.

Here’s a pic of my build!

Welcome to the forum.
Thanks! Really excited to learn from the forum and from folks who have had these beautiful sophisticated masterpieces of American Engineering!

Selling my 2010 V6 Camaro to get this beast, and although it hurts, I have always dreamt of having one. Can’t wait!

Thanks for the welcome!

Thanks man! I have to say, I went crazy with the 3LT, but have been reading most folks don’t recommend going all out. I do plan to keep this for a long time, but any advice on if it’s overkill would be greatly appreciated!
