Default Hello from NC!
Just wanted to say hey, finally. I've been checking out the forum occasionally and have decided to finally join.

Back in June, I picked up a 2016 Stingray Z51 with 7M, and it's been great. It had 43k miles on it when I bought it. It's my first Corvette, and it's been great so far.

Next plans are to get all of the fluids changed on the car. Then it will go in for tint and PPF. I'm still researching exactly what else I want to do to this car in the future, but I will probably start with the MGW short shifter.
