Hey guys excited to be counted amongst a group of proud Corvette owners. I picked up a 2023 HTC Silver Flare that someone evidently babied as it only had 1900 mi. on the odometer and looked and smelled new upon inspection. I've always admired the curves and lines of the Vette from years past but never pulled the trigger. So glad I did as this is a very capable car and seems to put the power down better than some of my past vehicles which were higher horsepower but tended to spin tires off the line.

I also ride motorcycles so didn't feel the need to get an Eray or Z06 as my sport bike scratches my speed itch quite nicely. That being said the Stingray feels plenty fast and is a great addition to my car and bike addiction. Looking forward to learning all I can from the forum brain trust. Honored to be here... My salesman took some great glamour shots of the car on the day of purchase.
