Got mine today!
I picked up my car today - drove it all afternoon!
It is nothing short of amazing which you all already know. Did a lot of on ramp and off ramps and it not only handles great , it is comfortable!! The npp exhaust is loud and I love it. Its a nice feature to be able to turn it on or off when you choose. The car is really a lot quieter with it off which will be good for a long trip. The Dash Display take some time to configure - my driver modes were not linked to Mode which I think some others have mentioned to Talon90. I followed his instructions and got that handled.
The auto, for me, was great. My knee can't take a clutch in traffic anymore so after my C5 stick, this is a good choice and shifting was still fun. You don't realize how fast you are going because the car is so tight and quiet that it fools you. The seats were very comfortable the entire afternoon. It is an amazing vehicle and worth the wait. Way to go GM.
ps GM'er sorry to hear about your problems but once again a thank you for all you did to keep me informed of my car's progress toward this day. We all appreciate your efforts which we realize are provided at the expense of your own free time.
Thanks RC000E for posting some of the pics for me in post 8

Congrats! What color is the interior. I'm set on the crystal Red exterior w/ black rims, but I'm in the fence if I want a black interior. Now that I see this, I think I like this interior best. Any chance of posting an interior shot?

Thanks for the kind words everyone.
Dlinderman the interior is Kalahari -its a combo I have seen on a lot of Ferrari's and always really liked the red and tan
I will try to figure out how to post an interior pic - I have become tech challenged in recent years. As you saw above, a far more tech savvy reader moved my photobucket pics onto this thread.
