Default My new Vette

This is my new 2017 C7 Corvette. Torch red, black interior, A8, chrome wheels, Z-51 spoiler. Waited 4 years for this. Finally my wife said go for it and I did.

SWEET RIDE!!! 2 things I really like about the style, the front has a smile on it, looks like a grin, really....meaning happy times .....that's the way I like a front end on a car to look,......

the rear is great too, tail lights look interesting and like to remind of a jet exhaust......this one being exotic....like it loves to play.....

I not a fan of the steering wheel, but having never driven one with a flat bottom like that, I may get used to it....dunno....

and I note that 8 speed trans, and look at the tunnel/console there, and note the width of that, and makes me think of my '87 vette with the seat bottom side bolsters that were just too dam narrow for me, actually made my hips hurt after a couple hours....I tried everything to get around it, but no go....some 23 years ago....I am 6'5" and 225 but arthritic as hell, so curious how you find the seating after you sat in it for say 2-3 hours....IF they solved that problem, that car would be an instant hit with me....

I am 6'2'' AND 196 and it was close to 100 mile drive from the dealer to home. I felt real comfortable in the car plenty of leg and head room.

I love my C7. Due to circumstances beyond my control (a bitch named Irma) I ended up putting 2200 miles on it in the last week going from St Louis area to Amelia Island Florida and then back again. This car is a great highway cruiser as well as tons of fun to drive. It didn't hurt that I got a number of from people of various ages
