No one will fault you. Congrats OP she is a beaut.

P.S I like how whenever someone posts a thread with a vert all the dick slappers feel the need to come out and tell the world their dislike of convertibles, as if anyone gives a flying shizz. We don't post in your threads about you being bitches worried about your hair getting messed up or whatever lame ass reason you bought a hardtop. Real sports cars are meant to be topless.

Honestly I have never been a fan of convertibles but I bought one because it looks that good!

The best part of the Vette is that they were designed as convertibles before they were designed as coupes (C6 and C7), hence they don't need any of the extra bracing/weight. Little do some know, the convertibles don't weight any more than the coupes (its less that 50 lbs).

There is nothing like smoking people with top down and hearing the engine/exhaust noises topless. Would never by another Vette without it being a convertible.

Great choice OP and enjoy in good health

Well I guess I have been officially welcomed to the GM family! To my surprise I received this commemorative Z06 print yesterday from GM! Very cool!

Does a c7z purchase include a track day?

It includes a heavy discount at Ron Fellows school and a year subscription to the corvette museum!

You also get a tour of the plant but currently there are no tours due to line re-tooling.

it appears the average dyno numbers show 10-15hp. the biggest advantage to the PTB is the hesitation to rev is gone. its really pronounced on the manual cars but it benefits the A8s too.
