Looks great! That VY was one of my color choices when I was shopping for my new Z. But even though I found a few of them in VY the dealers I found them at didn't want to deal

This is my first new vette, and IMHO, GM really did it right. We put 500 miles on it in two days, chasing friends on a Harley on twisty mountain roads. To me, the handling is spot on, nice feedback at the limit, and the LS3 just seems to want to pull hard everywhere. Driving the car has to be the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
If the weather holds, maybe there should be another coffee and vettes again, on Sunday this time..(I work Saturdays)
Tom, I'm calling you this week...The console does indeed get pretty warm when the outside air is above 85 or so. So the car needs a tunnel plate for sure, and while we are there...You guys know the rest of the story.

I need to check on the LS3 header availability, I beleive that they should be ready.

VERY nice color choice!
Moving to Redmond early November so hopefully we can all meet up and enjoy some of the beautiful scenery / roads Washington has to offer.
Enjoy the heck out of it before the winter weather, and I'll see you guys soon!!

Thanks guys, the more I look at it the more I like it. We really debated over color, Victory Red or VY. Took my mom to Sisters for her 75th b-day, she loved every minute of the drive, including her first foray into the triple digit zone. 
She didn't even know it until I pointed to the speedometer..

Your car looks great. I never really liked Yellow that much, but the Yellow GM uses on the Vettes looks really nice! It's not that mustard yellow color that is on some other cars. And it looks really good on the Vette. Red, Yellow, and Black, that's the only 3 colors I like on the Vette. I wish I could afford to have one in each color.
