Picked up a new daily drive (my dream car)

[Ekliptix]

I've been living in Houston 2 months now (work), and my gf and I have been sharing the Chevy Cruze Eco I bought for her (40mpg is easy).

Corvettes of Houston tracked this one down for me (2LT with Nav, 5,000miles).

Some comments since picking it up yesterday:
- It's way quieter inside and outside then my C5Z.
- At first I didn't think it felt as quick as the C5Z, but I think it's just the quietness that makes it deceptively fast. I plan on taking it to the drag strip, hoping for 11.xx at 12xmph.
- The long gears are great. 100km/h in 1st is cool.
- It feels more solid then my C5Z. Accelerating and cornering just feel way smoother.
- To color is....just...wow.
- Can't wait to put some more miles on it.

I'll be taking the front plate mount off. I already bought a mild to wild kit to install, and I have some aftermarket lowering bolts.

I'm signed up for a 2 day driver education coruse a Texas World Speedway for Sept. I can't wait!!!! 3 mile road course.

On to the pics:

Lowered in PS

Fantastic color choice!

[jsn]

Congrats! not bad for a DD

[beyond_ban]

At first glance i thought it was a ZR1, but that is sick regardless. Congrats on the new ride!

[Disoblige]

Nice! Looks like a lot of fun.

At first pic I was like wtf that's so low but then realized it's PS hah.

[jutes]

Sick! I've been thinking about trading the STi for a C6Z06 next spring. Makes more sense for a weekend/autox car.

Love the Color

[corsvette]

Very nice! Sweet colour too.

[Shlade]

very nice man.

Dream to move to Texas. Enjoy driving it almost every day of the year. Youll get that odd snow fall but itll be gone within minutes haha

PS: is that first photo photoshopped to drop the car? It looks hella slammed. Maybe just the angle?

I'll be the first to say I'm not fond of the colour - but that's personal choice. Gorgeous car regardless....

[bastardchild]

Good choice. The only corvette I would consider owning is a Z06 or ZR1, they are just completely different cars when comparing to the regular vettes.

Since you moved to Houston, was the house you bought way cheaper and MORE square footage than in Calgary?

[Masked Bandit]

Man I wish I lived somewhere that weather wasn't a factor in vehicle choice. Beautiful car man.

[forced_eg]

Finally scored the Johnson account?? Good man!! Gorgeous car!

Nice car! Congrats. You gotta take off those little square "GM" badges that are right under the side scoops on both sides, they are sooooo tacky. Personally i think its way to low in the first pic that was photoshopped. Stock ride height is pretty nice. Again, congrats!

Nice colour, if you're not a big guy I'd highly recommend a harness bar and a good harness or a race seat for the track. That stock seat is a couch and you'll spend much energy and focus staying in it on the road course.
