I just purchased my 2010 torch red Grand Sport in March of 2012. I have never owned a vette until now. I drove all the way to Texas to get this car and drove it all the way back to Ohio. Wow what a drive. I love everything about this car.
My legs felt really weak and I was very scared to drive that car. After the first 50 miles I started feeling a little more at ease. Those ruts from the semi's on the interstate are terrible on the vette. I sure does pull when you get on those. I'm sure that there were a few people upset because I stayed in the left lane.
I will post pictures of the car when I get them downloaded.

Well done! I'm on tour in Africa but thought I'd check in. Seems I don't have to.
