Congratulations on the LMB Vette. I love the color
I showed your car to a girlfriend of mine and she was wondering if that is your house in the background ? If so, you should have sprung for the Z51 pkg, night and day difference IMO.
Enjoy it, I came over from a 330 Bmw as well.

, but its my friends 
the house is huge, it looks a lot smaller from the front too. I didn't know the Z51 package is that great, though.
From looking at different posts, I saw that it seems the brakes and oil cooler are mainly noticeable for professional track racers and concerning the shorter gear ratios looking at the quarter mile runs the z51 and none z51 seem to run similar times. The biggest thing that concerned me is the handling, but I figured the Z51 sway bar would help a lot with that. I mean, I would have preferred the Z51 package, but I couldn't find a z51 car in the same price range as this one. One plus of not having the z51 is I don't have to replace the tires as often and since I use this car as a DD, I don't worry as much about losing control in the rain - I still do worry though! 400 horsepower is a tad bit higher than my 240 horsepower 3 series
