Congrats on your purchase.
Since it's your first Corvette may I recommend rolling on the throttle gently when in low gears at first until you get used to the car's response. Refer to You Tube videos of over exuberant ZR1 drivers rolling on too aggressively (with stability control turned off of course).
The car WILL be a handful and cool temperatures won't help either. My 2011 Z was loosey under power below 50F. And the new car will have as much torque at 1000 rpm as my 2011 car had at peak!

Ah, great news. That is a fantastic car as well. Spent some seat time at Gingerman in a Stage 3 car a few years ago.
