Hello fellow Corvette enthusiast. I'm new to this site and want to introduce myself. Just purchased a 1,400 mile 2015 Z51-3LT coupe with a manual transmission. This my third Corvette. I still own my first, a 65 396/425 car that Ive had since 1976. Been a car guy my entire life. During the mid 70's I ran a front engine dragster on a shoe string budget but it was still fun. Today I'm retired living on the water near Tampa Fl with my wife of 16 years. Besides cars, I'm involved with power boating, wood working and flipping houses. I'm currently looking to join a Corvette club in the greater Tampa Bay Area. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time.

Yes the bike is a handful for sure. It satisfies the need for speed no doubt. 0-200 in 8 seconds is something everyone should do once in their life. I built it trying to break the land speed record. Once I finally got the bike ready for an attempt at the record, I laid off of it for awhile due to a few friends of mine that lost their lives or were seriously hurt in motorcycle accidents. Once I saw the 2014 C7, my love interest became the new obsession. I had to have a C7 and now I have one. The bike sits there waiting for me to ride it. Haven't been on it in a year.

My first flagship Chevy was a 06 C6 Vert. After 7 great years I traded it for a first year C7 Arctic White Vert and drove it off the showroom floor. After 4 first months of agony and heartbreak with Chevy for a Trans issue the couldn't fix it was lemoned and I got my money back. That hurt! I set my plan for a Z06 however was not going to buy the first year. I finally found the perfect match 2 months ago and found a Arctic White Z06 A8 2LZ vert with Carbon Fiber dash ,PDR and a few more goodies that just needed to be mine.
Enjoying the heck out of it and this forum. Looking forward to the virtual pass by wave to all of you fellow members with every post.
