2025 C8 Stingray of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Introduction
Greetings Corvette Forum! Been lurking for the past few months, but decided now is the time for a proper introduction.
Full disclosure: No Corvette yet, but I just dropped a deposit on a C8 Stingray yesterday. I have spent the past few months browsing the forums for ideas on how I wanted mine to be ordered.
Looking forward to engaging with CF!

Welcome to the Forum and congratulations on your upcoming C8!
Patience is necessary when ordering a C8 although the delivery time has come down some.

Thanks Everyone!
BTW did I mention this will be my first Chevy?
I've made my way through much of the automotive rainbow (Mopar, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Toyota, Infiniti, Lexus).
