It's here!

Picked up my C6Z06 on Monday... in a snow storm. Lucky to make it home before too much snow built up.
First impression: pictures didn't do it justice. It looks awesome. Silver w/ black int, & polished alum. rims. Much quieter than my 2003 C5Z06. Trying hard not to go crazy with it yet,.. but man is it fast. The 03 Z sounds as bad as it really is, whereas the 06 Z's sound is misleading. Worth repeating,.. man is it fast! Shifter is great. Brakes are great. Interior is quite cool although the center console is hard on the elbow after a while. Oh ya,.. man is it fast!
I love it. Now I just have to figure out which fuse it is that I need to pull,..

I hear they are way, way overhyped. My 2001 Sable sport wagon with the 3.0L DOHC V6 will eat it for lunch....

Enjoy.

Congrats on the new ride. Did you say it was fast?
Wait till you get the 500 miles on it and you take it through its paces.
