Crazy depreciation for a car only 2.5yrs old.
Amazing there are leftover 2017's sitting on lots for $25K off MSRP still.

Nice car. Red would be the last color I'd choose though.
I really should get a stupid powerful car to enjoy before they all go away in favor of hybrids and electrics or self driving cars make them irrelevant.
We're on the verge of hypercar technologies becoming near mainstream (eg C8 AWD variant with 1000 HP rumored). There's at least a few more rounds of awesome before we all get driven around by robots.
Very very nice car but I am a c3 guy and c2 for second choice . I get a palpitation when I see c3.
My dad had a white C3, I think a 1970. Saved up forever in school to get it. 427 convertible, put on side exhausts & did some custom fiberglass work on it...truly awesome machine!
My first car was a Saturn

The engine started burning oil and I didn't do a good job paying attention to it. As my uncle said, "there aren't many ways to destroy a car via user error... but that is one." RIP, green sneaker. 1998-2007.
Any plans to track that beasty? Being able to fully uncork it would be high on my priority list.
You call it "resisting the urge", I call it "delaying the inevitable".No current plans for that.
I'm trying to resist the urge to mod it with cam, headers, and intake.
Never been a fan of the interior of the Corvette. Kind of has a Fisher-Price look to it. (I guess it is marketed towards the manchild demographic...) Those wheels though - good god, they have got to go. So much bling! Red is also not my first choice. I've seen some in white and those always seemed to resonate more with me.
Congrats on saving some $$$ though. Surprised it was that cheap for a life of sitting around.
Do you really need to do any mods to the engine? Doesn't the car have enough power as it is...? Not sure what you'd see in results from another 100-200hp. Maybe it'd shave a few tenths off a 1/4?
One question on the car, what do you think of the screen as gauges? Does it bother you at night? In my car (Admittedly not nearly as new) the secondary screen is way too bright even at the lowest setting for night drives, and stuff like the LEDs for cooled seats and the 'cruise' symbol on the dash never get dark enough.
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate newer cars that have it (The new S-class screen is insane) but I can't imagine liking the main cluster being a screen over traditional without it being OLED.

I've had my Corvette for a month and I can say I'm in love with it.
