Hey bud, it's good to see you surface here! It sounds like you're starting the new year off right. I can't offer anything you don't already know, so I'll just say congrats. Please post some photos when you get it, and what you think of it. It should be a blast to drive.

Congratulations! My neighbor has a white one. He loves it. I love the seats and wish I had them in my Z06.

Awesome- looking forward to the photos! Things are great here, thanks for asking buddy. I'm not buying a new track capable toy like you but I do have some fun upgrade projects coming up on my older toys. You're still karting, right?

I test drove one and loved it to death, but little rough ride which can be fixed with different set of tires, also the gears felt really tight and it made the car alot more enjoyable, PS: gm just announced that they are releasing the A10 for the Zl1 1le in feb so I guess from friday you can order them with A10 if thats what you like

Wow, it's not hard to understand why you're having a blast! The results speak for themselves. It must be pretty intense out there. Yeah, I'm jealous.

A friend of mine also has one (seems like a trend in this thread). He loves it also. Puts the power down very well (better than his C7Z06), but does ride firm. Also agree on the seats, they are fantastic.

Might be my next car actually. Congrats and enjoy!

Congratulations Boba. They are great cars. My buddy also has one. I have driven it twice. Feels a lot like my Z06 with a Camaro body. You will love the car.
Get some pics up when you get it. Enjoy it!
