Please let us know! Congrats! Are you going to pick it up at the museum?

I was behind a C-6 today and the exhaust was NOT quiet at all.
Yes it has some metallic in the paint and yes I am doing the museum delivery and the standard exhaust is quiet and the ones with the NPP option or an aftermarket are louder, though I expect to have an after market catback and intake on within months

Congratulations. Glad to see they are bringing back the gray in 09. Wonder if that is the same gray the ZR1 is having. One of the guys in our club just signed the papers for a new ZR1. I think the club is more excited them him.
