Default Just Ordered new GS

I've just ordered a GS 4LT with essentially every option available. This is an upgrade from a 06 Coupe I traded in. Is there anything I should be concerned or worried about with this car?

Quick description of my new car is: Super Sonic Blue (wanted Carlisle Blue but was told by dealer Chevy is no longer producing that color), Red Calipers, Dual Mode Exhaust, Magnetic Selective Ride Control, Roof Package, Blue Stitching, etc.

I have till Tuesday to make changes, lmk if I'm missing something...thx!

I like the chrome wheels on mine!

Order it, you'll be glad you did.

Oh, forgot to mention I did get the Chrome Wheels and I am picking it up in KY! I want the whole expirience. I could have gotten one from a local dealer but for $500, it'll be a blast!

Didn't think there would be any stickers since I'm picking it up at the plant. If there are any, I'll defintely keep them.

ZR1 spoiler is on order, dealer will install since they will paint exhaust cowling to match car color vs. black.

I would strongly recommend a front and rear alignment at approximately 1,000 miles.

If you don't plan to track your GS, have all features set to the mean to maximize your tire tread life.

Congrats!

I hope you got the manual. This car is much more fun to drive when you shift the gears.

I did get the six speed, and boy am I itching to be in that cabin! Six-eight weeks is the proposed wait, I'm sure it'll feel like six-eight years! Once I do complete my tour and the presentation of my car, as well as the celebration that will follow, I'll log on and you should be able to recognize my enthusiasm and hapiness!

Do like I did while your waiting. Check out all the Corvette vendors on the Forum and start picking up mods. I did it and it really helps with the waiting, my wife thought I was an idiot for buying stuff for a car I didn't have yet. She started calling the UPS guy the Corvette Fairy.

My 2010 GS was my first Vette and I still can't wipe the smile off of my face every time I get in and start her up.

Don't forget to get the Mild to Wild switch from one of our supporting vendors. You'll love it!

That is precisely how I'm managing my time. I'm hesitant to order anything for the interior since I can't find a 4LT locally to physically see what I'm getting but as far as gagetory, I'm considering the Mild to Wild remote for the exhaust and the relay to open/close my windows with the key fob.
