Hey congrats on your new Corvette That's good you got that column lock out of the way, that's a good start. I've been lucky, I haven't had this problem at all on my 02 Z06. I may just get the kit to be safe anyway. I almost bought an 05 C6 until I read that they got rid of it on the 06's plus the 06 has 19 other different little improvements that are are seldom mentioned over the 05'.
Best of luck with your Vette and may you have many more excellent driving experiences.
