Default Sorry for the profanity
The torture is over! 3 days of driving below 4k RPM was definitely not easy but WOW what a feeling you experience once those lights disappear! right after the video i slapped that shifter into 3rd and hit the accelerator at 60 MPH all the way to 125 MPH! the smile on my face was definitely a kodak moment!

I watched the redline grow about 40 miles from home after I picked it up at Bud's in Ohio. Got to play a little and make some sweet NPP music the last 40 miles.

Not very smart to do this on public highways. Beside being dangerous, it gives all of your fellow Corvette owners a black eye in the mind of the public. Great stuff for the track or drag strip, but please not on public roads

I was hoping you taped the romp through third! Does the car have a lower rev limiter in the break-in period or is it just a "suggested" lower redline?
