I know, I'm not giving you a hard time I'm praising you!

You drove a nice ws6 around, and now you saved yourself a ton of money by waiting to get a Z06. That's a good move.

Hell yeah, but I was lucky and our SS is now my wife's SS so we still have both our F-Body and now the Vette!

Nice ride, man! I wanted a Z06... but I figured that by the time I got done with this one, it would be a lot faster anyhoo! I weighed FRC in at 3140 with a full tank of gas and some stuff in the trunk from my move. I was really happy about that!

Congrats to all you guys who just picked up their Z's recently!! They are awesome cars and you're definetly going to love them. As far as tips, the one thing I've found that most new vette owners don't know about is how to put the car in competition mode. Just hold down the active handling button for about five seconds or until you see the message on the DIC. Sounds basic enough but i've met three new owners so far that didn't know about it.

I would also recommend getting the "vette tray" and partition. It makes a huge difference on in cabin sound and the tray is awesome for storing little things like cd's and adds a couple of cup holders.

Enjoy your rides!
