Default Got It!

Well I finally got my new VR C6 Z51 coupe today! What a car! The hardest thing about having it is having to keep my foot off it for the next 500 miles or so. This car just wants to go! It's my first day but I love it and can't wipe the proverbial smile off my face. I may have to sleep in it tonight. I know that's pretty strange, but come on, how many of you did it? Can't wait until tomorrow to do it all over again! Thank you everyone on the forum that helped me with information and guidance!

If you don't sleep in it, you should go out every hour or so and make sure it is OK. Enjoy.
