Got him on the auto tragic. I'm sure he will troll once again though and have no idea what he did.

Torch red is like the mother ****ing catalina wine mixer. it just pulls you in.

Thanks! First one for me. Dad had a nice C5 which I really liked and my father in law had a C6 for a little bit. 500 mile complimentary oil change is tomorrow and then I can flog the piss out of it.

The way assclowns in mediocre cars drive on the TP makes a Vette cruising the least of the trooper's problems!

I'm sure you'll have no problems driving an "arrest me red" Corvette on a daily basis!:lol:

I need to clear out my driveway so I can do some snow drifts. Xpel is not on my schedule for this car. I'm a believer in the product but I'm going to embrace the chip life.

Get cherry colored car, won't throw all the cherries at it.

Blacdout96 03-10-2017 11:07 PM

I'm generally not a fan of Corvettes, more so because of the owners who own them, and how they see their Vette, with that said, GM really put some thought into the C7 Vettes, with exception of the interior, it's fit n finish is leaps and bounds better then C5's, but it still feels a little bland. You will have fun with this car, but you're better off going to road courses then Atco/Englishtown/insert drag strip with it, that's where it really belongs. I haven't PDI'd one since last year,but they really sorted them out well, just make sure not to make it a garage queen, get some rubbery bits all over it, and don't leave the brake ducts on all the time.

This was the exact reason I went with the adrenaline red interior since it breaks up the standard black/gray standard setup. The leather in the Hellcat felt more plush but this feels more durable which is good. One feature I like is the separate passenger temp and seat controls (heat/vent) since my wife won't need to mess with the center stack. I already have plans to get this car to a few road courses but it will see the drag strip and a half mile/mile event this year if time allows. It will be washed, waxed and garage kept but I assure you the warranty will be challenged.

None in NJ unfortunately. Think Virginia has one. Buddy is looking to figure out the logistics since he is wanting to run his Hellcat.
