New 231 owner saying Hi !
New owner made the move from 230 to a 231 the technology updates alone are just awesome what I will miss about the 230 is the smooth seamless acceleration of the naturally aspirated V8 I definitely notice the turbo lag but once it winds up its a rocket. The ABC is definitely a nicer ride than the non ABC suspension but so far the positives far far outweigh any doubts I had about the upgrade.

New car looks great, congratulations. From your log-in, it would appear you are a past Corvette owner. I traded in my 2011 C6 for a 2016 SL400 last June and could not be happier. It turns out that several of the SL owners on this forum have owned Corvettes. As much as I loved my C6, I am enjoying the SL400 even more. Hope you have a similar experience.

Another current Corvette owner saying congratulations. If that's a Porcelain interior, it looks even better with your Grey than it does with my Polar White.

WOW so many prior vette owners ! I worked my way up started with a 62 Fuelie then an 86 pace car then a 98 Convertible when I finally sold the 98 and picked up the 07 230 my wife was not a fan of the vette but loved the SL550 I had that for 2 years but really missed the tech stuff of the newer SL's the 2013 231 Has every option except ABC and we both love this car its a pure joy to drive.
