Default Vette will not start!

I have not driven my Vette in over a week. I went to try and start her up a few minutes ago and...nothing! When I turn the ignition to the on position I get all the usual lights, fuel pump sound...everything. I even have good interior and dash lights. When I go to crank her up...NOTHING! The only thing that happens is my "PARK" light and "BRAKE PRESSURE" light come on...and they go off when I turn the key back to "On". What is going on? Anyone ever had this problem before? Thanks in advance!

It must have been the VATS. I went back out after making the original post and it started right up!

It might be a good time to have your local Chevy dealer cut you a new ignition key.

Yeah you might want to try a different key before that one goes completely bad.
