Hello
Thanks! I am looking to purchase a C8 later this year. This will be my first Corvette. A Stingray 1lt is all I need, but want a ZO6 and would love a ZR1.
I am debating on purchasing used low miles to see how well I would like one and jumping in with both feet ordering my dream car. I am more performance oriented than bells and whistles.
So I will be soaking up knowledge as I go.
Thanks!
