Another great Tuesday Vlog! Goes to show it does not matter if you just recently purchased a C7 or had one for a while; You learn something everyday! Reading the large owners manuals does not do justice to watching a informative video. Great radio tips. Thanks, Rick

Rick - what a beautiful ZR1. I purchased my 2016 Laguna blue sting ray 3 years ago before I knew Rick Conti existed. Big mistake- the radio portion of this vlog tonight blew my mind. I didn’t know at least 90% of what you showed tonight! So thank you Rick for teaching us about custom seatings of the radio. And Rick - I want so badly to experience doing a deal with you and enjoying the delivery process with Corvette Conti - you are the only person I would consider purchasing my next Vette from - I recommend everyone to trust this man with such a special purchase! You ARE the best! God Bless You my friend! Dave in Thornton,CO

Great featuring ZR1's on today's tips. Man, I love my ZR1 more every freakin' day! Like you told me, it's a real eye catcher. People start conversations at stop lights, take pictures of it in parking lots, take videos of it on their phones as you pass by them, etc. It's a real experience. Thank you so much for making that possible for me!!

Hey Buddy, what a great Vlog. Most people don’t know how much info is available in that radio. You are a specialist in CORVETTE INFO. Some dealers are lucky they can even start the car. Love the ZR1 spectacular car. And of course that for the entertainment. You never stop. You’re hot sh t. Look forward to your next Vlog either surprise or Sunday “ coffee with Conti” Dennis Petrucci from Florida 👍👍🙏👌😎🍕☕️🏁🏁🇺🇸🇺🇸

Rick - please do all of us in the corvette family and the future generations of vette owners - when you decide to do something other than selling directly to buyers, please offer current and future corvette sales people a mandatory class with you “Conti’s Corvette Classic Career Curriculum”. You are the best because you are committed to the vette owner and their success and understanding of the greatest sports car! We need your influence on the other “want to be” sales persons of this wonderful car. Thank you! Dave in Thornton,CO

Thanks for showing us more great information on how to understand your C7 Corvette. I don't own a Corvette, but definitely enjoy learning about them. I loved the segment about the ZR1. It really looks beautiful and sexy. These pictures of the rear wing reminded me of how easily it will entice uncaring people to either pile things on it or to use it as a writing desk. I can't count the number of times in the 25 years of owning a 94 Mustang GT that people have used the rear wing to write on or pile things on it. Auto repair shops and home contractors have been the worst offenders.
@oneslackr5 жыл бұрын
Rick, new C7 owners are lucky to have you posting these videos & making life easy for them. I actually had to read my owner's manual to set my car up. But that's okay. Heck, I've even downloaded & read owner's manuals for rental cars ahead of time on a couple of occasions just so I knew how to operate some of the car's features. Most wouldn't bother especially for a rental. Lol

Given the cost of a new ZR1 being beyond my reach at this time, are there any longer term financing or lease options that would make it more attainable before they're no longer available?

@oneslackr5 жыл бұрын
Does your Stingray already have the built in tow hook receivers? If so you might want to check out this place: zl1addons.com/collections/corvette-tow-hooks You can buy just a front or a front/rear pair though you can use the front hook in the rear if you had to but it would just stick out quite far. I just bought the '14 - '19 Vette Premium tow hook for the front. I opted for the black D-ring instead of red. I also bought the GoPro mount they sell for it. It just arrived today & they're nice quality pieces.
