Hello. My name is Pat, and I'm the owner of a yellow 1981 Corvette and a silver 2007 Stingray convertible.
Apparently, I set up an account last September and just forgot about it, so I'm just now getting around to introducing myself.
These are my first 2 Corvettes, and I haven't owned them a year yet, so I'm in the learning stages about these vehicles. That hasn't
stopped me from working on the '81 myself, though.
Looks like there is a lot of activity here, and I hope to blend right in. Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

Hate to tell you this, but there's no such thing as a 2007 Stingray. If it has a Stingray name on the side of it somewhere, that was just put there by a previous owner.

1963-1967 had Sting Rays (2 words). 1968-1982 had Stingrays. 2014-2019 had Stingrays.

You're right. It's whatever they call option Z51. I think they started calling it Stingray again with C7.
