No. 371 came home today
Finally was able to pick mine up today. Impressions after about 50 m ile drive home:
1. This car is AWESOME!! Pictures really don't do them justice.
2. My Z07, ride is very tolerable in touring and sport modes and very stiff in track mode, as you'd expect. My old car was a 2007 1LT with Z06 springs and Pfadt JOC shocks and sway bars. The new one is more comfortable than it was in touring mode and I could tell a slight difference in sport mode but not much.
3. The Sport Cup 2 tires have great grip, but will definitely suck in the rain, not much tread. Probably swap them out of PSS's soon.
4. Cabin noise is lower than the 2007.
5. Competition seats are very comfortable for me (6' 185lbs). Tight fit in the chest but the bolsters are adjustable and it fits like a glove.
6. It's going to take a while to figure out all the settings and functions of the Infotainment system and dash!
7. The 7 speed takes some getting use to, different gates than my 6 speed before it but it's very smooth, shifts easy, clutch is light and engages nicely.
8. The suede steering wheel and shifter feel nice, we'll see how it wears I guess.
9. It made it over the speed bumps at the dealer and into my driveway without touching the splitter. About 5 1/2" to the bottom of the splitter on a non-lowered car.

Turn 12!
Love the gray calipers, the red is over done. I ordered the same with my TR Z07.

Damn that thing looks sweet. Seeing **** like this makes it hard to keep patiently waiting for mine to show up (it's still sitting at BGAP). The pic with the tape is interesting, because my ZR1 is quite a bit lower. It really makes me want to drop my Z when it arrives.
I'd love to see a measurement of the wheel gaps for both front and back, so I can compare them to my ZR.
