1st Corvette Under Contract
Looking/Hoping to become a 1st time Corvette owner next week.
I have a 2008 Atomic Orange C6Z06 with ~12,600 miles under contract and headed into PPI.
Appreciate this community, certainly helped me to make a more informed decision.
Live in NC and looking forward to contributing.

Thanks for all the welcome messages. The car failed PPI and while it was a beauty inside and out it was not underneath. The car had been wrecked and had frame damage amongst many other issues. The search is still on and I have another k e in my sights. :0
