I bought my C7 about 3 weeks ago in Springfield, MO and drove it back to Arizona and it was big fun. The cold snap was just hitting and had lots of wind in OK and Texas. Weather did not get warmer until I hit New Mexico!
Watch your tires in the cold as they lose their grip below 40 although if driving they will stay warmer but those cold mornings, grip is an issue. It was on mine, 22 degrees in NM when I got up and started to drive. Tire slippage was very apparent especially on light acceleration.

We took our first trip after taking delivery three weeks earlier and the only regret was not stopping enough for photo opportunities with the car. Was so consumed with driving the car or enjoying the scenery and not getting pictures of the car with the scenery. 
Woodstock, IL to Mount Rushmore, SD to Devils Tower, WY to Little Bighorn, MT to Glacier National, MT to Theodore National Park, ND to Itasca State Park, MN, to Leinie Lodge, WI to Woodstock, IL
600+ pictures (2 with Corvette)
Have fun+be safe+take pictures including the car
