New Owner - 2017 GT350

[gbranham]

Hello, all! I'm new to the forum, and have recently purchased a 2017 GT350. 4800 miles with the tech package. I absolutely love this car! I have owned several Corvettes over the years, with my most recent being a 2017 Z06. I think this car actually handles better than my Z06, which is hard to believe. The handling and brakes are sublime! I also recently finished building my 2nd Factory Five Racing Roadster....waiting for my painter to paint it. It has a 427 small block Ford that makes about the same horsepower as the GT350, but 1300 pound lighter. Two totally different beasts, but I love them both. Looking forward to learning more about the car and this platform. I don't have any plans to modify the car; I'll keep it stock.

Congrats on the new favorite toy!
I wanted Lightning Blue, but they didn’t offer it in 2019… you have the BEST blue ever put on a GT350…!!!
Looks great!

Sweet. I agree on the color, it is the best blue.
FFR is not far from here and they always have customers at our cruise nights. Two club members have their machines. I get cramps just standing next to them. Lol

Very nice ride . That’s an impressive compliment about the 350s handling vs Z06. Many Corvette owners get their feelings hurt by this car I imagine.

Best color. I have the exact same spec.

Kona Blue is the best "blue".. but I'm biased

Congrats on the car! ride on!!

Fine car. Enjoy. Still think deep impact blue was best blue.

I don't think the 2017 GT350 had a Tech Package option.

I may be using the wrong term. The original window sticker had an "electronics package" as a $3000 option. Maybe that's something different.

Congrats, Lightning with the black stripes looks awesome!!

Yeah, the Tech Package was a $7,500 option on the 2016. My 2016 has the Tech Package. Your 2017 with an electronics package has the same equipment, plus the trans and diff coolers.
