Glad you stuck with the manual transmission, that is the only way to go with the Vette imo

Those seats look comfy, how are you liking them so far?

The car is wonderful. Very comfortable. All kinds of electronic gadgets. 10-speaker Bose stereo. Five driving modes: touring, wet, eco (four cylinders shut down and 30 mpg on the highway), sport, and track, each with different exhaust, steering, and suspension settings and different dash displays, including tach and speedo. I feel like a rock star. Everywhere I go, the car draws a crowd. People yell out their windows at me. 460 hp. I have to baby it until the 500 mile break in, but it goes 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and pulls 1.11 Gs on the skidpad.

There is a 4-6 month wait on orders from the factory. Kerbeck Chevrolet in Atlantic City, NJ is the largest Corvette dealership in the world: 90 in stock or in transit from the factory in Bowling Green, KY. I picked out the exact car I wanted when it was on a rail car somewhere between Bowling Green and Atlantic City. I arranged for my own shipping. A big transporter showed up at my house last Thursday. All of that took only 10 days, including bad weather in the East.
