Default I'm back in an LSx powered vehicle

Hi all.
I have had the C6 "fever" for just about a year now.

So, I sold my mostly restored 82 Corvette last week, went to MacMulkin
Chevrolet 2 days later & by weeks end purchased a 2013.

I signed papers yesterday & due to lousy weather, they let me keep the car there allowed me to take delivery today when the weather
dried up, awesome!

I bought black (I know, not red this time!), with an ebony interior & 6
speed.

Here's a few pics:

1- make sure you drive it hard right way to seat the motor.

2- you do any kind of gray paint or ground affect paint on the car, you will be shot.

1, Did it right away.
2, Not gonna happen, it's staying monochrome.

How many mile before it's broken in enough, if there is such a thing, before I should bring it to you for a tune?

Anytime. We've put blowers on those with less than 300 miles on them.

Yup it doesn't take but hours to properly break in a car aka seat the rings, ***** footing it is NOT the way to go about it either, OP.
