    We were blessed with finding our 2023 3LT HTC non-Z51 with magnetic ride, front lift, performance exhaust, front splitter, side rockers, and carbon flash painted top, nacelles, low profile spoiler, mirrors, and other trim features. I drove one, a wealthy friend, when he got one of the first ones in northern Illinois. I fell in love with it and went on the Chevy website to spec one out. On 08/10/23 we found exactly what we wanted on a local dealer’s showroom floor. It’s perfect, the best vehicle this 75 yo has ever driven. Congratulations on your purchase, your car is beautiful.

    Should have been somewhat clean even after trip as you saw in my video she looked awesome as it left Ohio
    I left plastic in seat for you to protect it while driver got in and out
    Appreciate the business 🎉🎉🎉

      Hi Rick, It was super dusty. The plastic was still on the seat and the steering wheel cover was still on. Been busy putting on the miles. I will have a light detail and wax done next week. The stereo is fantastic!

      The trucking companies need to put something over the drivers door window. Its left down so they can crawl in to move the car. When my car got to California, it was really dirty inside. I believe the trailer had a hole somewhere, and the black soot from the diesel truck was all over the inside and outdide of the car.

    Congratulations! We had the red mist C8 that came off the truck first outside Carson City. We had the whole neighborhood there and we gave them all champagne. The driver, Tom was great. All the best to you!

      @@C8CorvetteLifees, the tracking app is pretty cool. Against all odds, the driver made it through snow storms in Wyoming and Utah and blew a tire in NV. Crazy adventure. Great that your car wasn’t damaged with that chain. ruclips.net/video/qIipguqFcjc/видео.html

      Thanks. I got on the dealer's wait list March 2021. Received an allocation November 2022 Car was produced January 23 2023. Delivered to Dealer in Ohio January 28. Delivered to me February 8th. My wait time was extra long due to all the supply shortage delays and some pissy politics at the dealership that my salesman had to work through. Wait times are still long but you shouldn't have to wait two years like me. Thanks for watching.

    Congrats! I’m with you: I don’t like boring colors either (white, black, grey, silver), especially for the Vette. I picked up my 2023 Rapid Blue at the museum last month. I can’t stop driving it…over 2,000 miles already.
