first time, just logged in.
bought a c8 yellow conv last year. first time corvette owner. LOVE it. only bought it because it is mid engine. and today, i emailed macmulkin my contract for a new 2025 z06. can't tell you how happy i am. been on the wait list since march last year. now i have to sell my current c8 & my rcr gt40. i thought that would be my last car. But i just love this car...fun to drive, took off the decal on the hood. many people ask what kind of car is it? always get comments from strangers. hardest thing i have to do is to hold the button done for about 15 seconds for the top to go down...wow is me. since i live in so cal, its down a lot. now with a z06, those pesky tesla's need to move over

rcr gt40, registered in calif (NOT an easy thing to do!!), small block ford BUT 434HP @ 6K, weighs 2400#. you must concentrate when driving.
the c8 is a 70th anniversary, 2023 with 18K miles. convertible. i love it but a chance for a Z06....

Nice couple of rides in your garage and the Z06 will be a worthy replacement for the current C8 and the rcr gt40.
