This car has everything I wanted except the suede inserts on the seats.

Those microfiber inserts are an UPGRADE and they're awesome. Just wait about 6 months and you'll probably end up loving them like I did.

Looks good, love that color.

Congratulations! Enjoy your beautiful ride!

Yeah, when I test drove a couple cars with the microfiber inserts, I wasn't too thrilled. I am already infinitely more fond of them, and extremely happy that I didn't jump on my original plan of ordering a 2016 with full leather. Right now I'd say I like them just as much as the full leather.

Congrats and Enjoy!!!

Congrats and welcome!

One suggestion: You might want to hold off ordering that transparent roof from GM for a while and lurk the for sale section here. Those roofs come up all the time for $900- $1,100. If you're in a hurry, you might want to check with Gene Cully/CULTRAG (forum vendor) he has great prices and service to match!

JMHO, Enjoy your ride!!

Congrats! You'll have a great time driving it, racking up the miles.

BTW, the smile that's been on your face all day... yeah, it doesn't go away! Enjoy

Awesome, thank you very much for the advice! I will use it in the future, however one of my buddies owns a 2014 Z51 as well with the dual roof package, and is going to sell me his never used transparent roof panel for $1,000. :cheers:

They look more upscale, IMO, and you'll really appreciate them when the extremes of weather (hot or cold) hit; much more comfortable.

Congrats - great find! I ordered my 15 Z51 Convertible in Laguna Blue with Competition seats in the 3LT Brownstone with suede package. You will love it - such a great color combination and the suede does step it up a notch. I really like the wheels that came on the Premier Edition cars. Yeah, I would definitely keep it. My 15 was also my first Corvette and I have no plans of ever selling it.

Enjoy yours in good health!

It's a thrill, ain't it? I get the same rush every time we buy anew Vette! Congrats!

kevincol 08-19-2016 01:36 AM

It's my favorite color! 816 miles -- wow!

Looks like someone stole your pictures and made and add for sale. :toetap:

Maybe that's the guy OP bought it from? Yet it was posted less than 24 hours ago. OK, NOW I see your point!?!:toetap:

That's what I thought, but it was posted 22 hours ago. Very suspicious, unless He didn't like it and is selling it again :confused2:
