Default New Corvette Owner!

Howdy, I purchased my first Corvette! It’s a 2016 Z51, 1LT package (wish it had ventilated seats…) with 12,500-ish miles on it, manual transmission, convertible. Purchased from Carvana and considering the car is almost 10 years old, and I’m the 4th owner, I took it to the local Chevy dealer for inspection and a decent once over for some mechanical, electrical, and rubber TLC. Car is going to be for road trips and mountain/ back road driving. Can’t wait to jump into the forum(s) and learn more about Corvettes!

Woohoo!! Happy times! Congratulations and welcome to the Forum and to the wonderful world of Corvette. I, too, use mine as a GT car and it is freaking excellent at that. I know you will love yours. Enjoy your beautiful Corvette and be safe!
