Thanks. What a difference the mag ride makes!

I hope so. I ordered the Z51 performace and suspension packages, including the mag ride.
I suspect you've been grinning all day...... :)

Big difference you feel the moment you drive it with the mag ride. Z51 will show up when the car is pushed harder after break in, but it just sticks on those on ramps!

I'm at status 3000 as of Wednesday, accepted by Production Control.
Now we wait for a TPW, and the rest.
3 weeks until the UAW contract expires, so got to be realistic and prepare myself mentally if the worst should happen.
For now, I'm still pretty elated, and looking forward to "sticking a few ramps" myself. ;)
When I get mine, I'll be looking for ways to run the mileage up, and London runs are good.
You're Red Mist Tintcoat? Torch Red here. ;)
Off to bed.
Enjoy "the new toy". :)
 
Congrats Scott, you deserve it, a lot of hard work you add to this site. Don't you just love the color.

Thanks Chris, I really do love this colour. Very rich and classy look. Even my son who loves torch red said it's much nicer than he expected.
My wife said, stop buying new ones and keep this one! She likes it best out of the nine that I've had!

Scott,
I'm sure you will figure it out with your Wife when you get that next allocation.
"But honey, without a Z06, I'm simply not complete as a man."
Maybe try dinner with a nice wine (lots of).

That might work, I showed you the car before I showed her. I dropped a hint that the Z06 is also available in this colour last night
but from driving both a Z06 with mag ride and the new car with mag ride this week, I know she would far prefer the car I have.

The Z06 a little loud for her liking?
Perhaps the E-Ray, all quiet and subdued, is more in line.
We can peel the badges off. Maybe she won't notice.

I know the simple solution, but she warned me last night..."you can't have two of them at once again" as a one point I had three at once back in the C5 days,
a 97 coupe, a 2002 Z06 I tracked and the 50th anniversary red convertible. With your garage reconstruction and you being in the industry maybe I can hide one
at your place? :)

Gee, I don't see any issues with that at all.

No, nine Corvettes over the years but now the third C8 and the first one I ordered for myself.
