Congrats on the Vette, Steven!
Awesome car!
We need to talk about your pictures though, what mode are you shooting in? (These are shot with your T4i, right?)

^^^ Yes Austin-I'm not having good luck with the T4i. I shot yesterday in Auto Mode because it was so sunny.
You just need to come to KC and shoot this car!

The sizzle in the Steak
Conrats!...and an awesome color choice too!
I heard the stingray logos on the seats are uncomfortable.
Any truth to that?

Buddy, I've already got my hawt "cougar", even though I'm sure she wouldn't like it if I called her a "cougar". My wife is all the "cat" I want!
Moog, you can't even feel the logos on the seats. But, I have to tell you, the 2nd day I had the car, I noticed that the passenger seat logo broke in two. The dealership ordered a new seat cover-had it overnighted, and it was installed the next day.

Just saw a grey one tonight. Found out its from my community.
I saw the sting ray emblem on the fender glint in street lights and looked over and realized what it was and damn it's sexy in person. And I only really saw the back end. Even my wife liked it.

Congrats!Very nice pick up. I love how the new Corvette looks.
Did your dealer mark it up? I heard many are adding like $10K in mark ups to them.

Nice! And it's great that you still have your TL to toss around on the daily. Wish I could have kept mine. 
But these high output cars are so much fun to drive. Makes you fall in love with the road all over again, like when you first got your license.
Congrats and enjoy that Stingray!!

No mark-up on my Stingray. Since I play hockey with the New Car Sales Manager at the dealership, I actually got a discount on this car. But shhhhhhh-don't tell anyone. Everybody else is paying MSRP or a mark-up!
No worries MM, this car is a game-changer. It's worth it AND worth the wait!

^^^ Steven was very eager....I did ask him to wait another year and buy the Z06 version of the C7....it will be launched sometime next year...
I would seriously wait for it (if that is in your budget) else you can always look into a different dealership in a different state

......couldn't wait-this is #1,445 off the line. Besides, at 460 horsepower, this is plenty of "get up and go" for me.

I know you cudnt old man....plus I think this fit your budget very well....am expecting the Z06 version to be around 90K which I bet would have been a tad bit over the budget....

I thought about the "first year model" scenario a lot. But my gut feel was so good about this car, I went ahead and pulled the trigger!

Steve, great car! They've came a long way from the C4 I used to own.
For some reason Corvettes have always been "jacked" up, while Audi, BMW, Porsche, Ferrari... have all taken up the wheel well gap from stock.
I used swoosh's pic (hope you didn't mind) to show what your C7 could look like about 1.5 inches lower. Anyway, hope you enjoy it!
