Really, about the paddles? Interesting. I think I am fine with it the way it is. Just took me by surprise when I took it out for a test drive. Actually, I can see how it could be useful in this configuration. Especially when steering into tight turns. I know on the Camaro it could get a little "awkward" when one paddle was at the bottom and a bit harder to pull. Now either hand can do it.
Either way it is a nice feeling to be riding in it. Hugs the road better than anything I have ever driven. Guess the GS/Z51 suspension is definitely a good thing to have.

LoL, nothing quite yet. I do want to replace the radio to something a bit more modern and maybe add a rear camera. Though, it is pretty easy to back up to another car. Love the fact it has such a better view around than the Camaro. That thing had some serious blindspots. In the A Pillars and the B. Like that the Vette's A pillars are really narrow and the B isn't a problem since the window wraps around so far.
I already have an SCT Tuner from the Camaro that I de-paired and will use it when the Vette needs it. Not sure if it is worth tuning it totally stock. It doesn't have the issues with AFM and seems to shift well as it is.
Eventually will do an intake and exhaust and possibly headers, but nothing major. Actually nice having it relatively quiet in the cabin. Had a Corsa XTreme on the Camaro and it was a bit much at times, especially for a DD.

The synergy green camaro in my signature is an auto, I find the paddles useless unless you are going in a straight line. I didn't know the paddles are different in the vette but I prefer to row my own.

It is an Auto. Almost every Grand Sport in the area, within 200 miles for sale were all Auto. I had to have Red, and glad it was the Crystal Red Tint. Love the color with the Tan interior. I would have gotten a M6 if one was available in the color I wanted, but was fine with the Auto. Especially, since it will be my daily driver. Luckily I don't drive to DC everyday anymore in bumper to bumper. Just about 20 miles away from work now and don't have to hit the interstate at all, save for a couple trips to HQ. If I was still driving to DC I wouldn't be using the Corvette as a DD.
I never could get used to A6 shift programming, but then again it could just be me. I think the drive by wire delay in the throttle has a lot to do with that, there are multiple aftermarket solutions for that.
