Just purchased my wife a Black 2015 Z51 3LT Convertible for her 50th Birthday.
We are entering the Corvette Community in our early 50’s, better late than never.
These cars are straight up crazy fun to drive the performance is outstanding! Last one I drove was my Moms 1985 coupe and all I can say is as cool as that car was to drive back then this LT1 is light years ahead of the old Tune Port Injected model.
Always loved Vettes and it’s great to have one setting in the garage!

I can’t figure out why people keep saying that. LOL
I love it and love driving it but it still stays home with her while I commute to work in my Corolla. LOL
