Hello Jochen, glad to see you posting on the forum.
![]() I'd say that if you have been to America before then you trip sounds great. However if this is going to be your first and/or possibly your only trip here, you may want to consider dividing your time a little bit more to see other parts of the country. Of course I am partial to South Florida, but there are some great places to visit in California and other states. When visiting the Corvette Museum make sure to let them know in advance that a group of Corvette enthusiasts are coming from Europe, and maybe they can set something special up for your visit. Regardless, you should have a great time based on some of the things you are planning to do. BTW - Your English is fine, and much better than most of us could do trying to write in Austrian. ![]() |

There are several ZR-1s in the Chicago area. Let us know when you are in town so we can set up one of our world famous FBI Pizza nights for you! ![]() ![]() |

Hey Vettel98,
You forgot to add Hawaii to your list..........even though many in the mainland forget or don't recognize it, we are in the USA too. ![]() Sounds like you will have a great visit and you will enjoy meeting some Z members and be in Corvette heaven. ![]()
