Default Got me another Toy!!

I have already made this announcement in the C5 General Section, now I'm letting my fellow Z06 owners know. I bought a 2001 Z06 during the 4th of July weekend from Maxie Price Corvettes in Loganville Ga. It's stock as far as I can tell except for the gearshift ****. It's a fine car, but it seems to like it when I do about 120, do you folks have the same problem? Is it normal?
