My first Vette was a new 1968 Convertible at age 21.

This is my second Vette. The first car that was mine was a 1957 Olds 98, but the first car that I drove was a 1953 Chevy with 3 on the column - those were the days.

This Z06 is my first Corvette, I've been a Mustang owner since 1988

The cars have included:

'88 LX 5.0
'93 LX 5.0
'96 Saleen S281 Speedster
'97 Saleen S351 Speedster
'98 Cobra
'99 Saleen S351 Speedster

I must say, I'm very happy with the Z06. I traded the Cobra in for it a week ago. Currently it's my daily driver, until I decide what to do with the other Mustang I have in the garage at the moment

I drove the 1999 Pewter Hardtop and the wife had the 2 1999 Black Hardtops. The first Black Hardtop had defective paint, so the dealer ordered her another one. She got to drive the first one for 4 months in the Winter and put 3000 miles on it. When the second identicle Black Hardtop arrived, the dealer traded her even up. Nice dealership!!

 

[KMeloney]

I, too, am a Mustang-to-Corvette convert (although I still have the '93 Cobra, and still appreciate Mustangs).

Never had a Corvette before (or a Chevy, for that matter). The Z is my first, and a heck of a first, I'd say!

Still have a '97 Jeep Wrangler (bad weather, roads, and neighborhoods), and the Z for everything else. Just gotta sell that Cobra now...
