New corvette owner from Texas. Purchased a 2017 C7 Z06 convertible. Car is stock for the time being. Was hesitant on the convertible cause I’ve never seen any in person but glad I got it. Glad to be here. Gotta get use to the power cause previous most powerful car owned was a 2013 ZL1. This car is on another level!

I can empathize ... after years in my sensible-shoe, plain-vanilla Prius, driving my brother-in-law's C5 was an epiphany!

Now comes the expensive part, shopping for a Corvette to call my own....
