It will be a couple of months before the right options are all available.

Btw: if anyone is in the below towns, and has a "open schedule" (not sure what time i wil be in each).. i'm doing a semi-cross country first drive in the C7.. and any rennlister can take it for a spin if they want to compare to their GT Porsche

nashua NH
NYC
pittsburg
philadelphia
DC
Colombus
Cincinnati
Danville VA (VIR)
Raleigh
Wilmington NC

" Unlike each of its six predecessors, which have always seemed to fall short of a complete package, Chevy has finally delivered a Corvette that raises the bar without any excuses. "

I drove it Wednesday. Thoroughly explored its performance envelope. Any questions?

Think as if you're Chris Harris...
What's your impression?

Yes. With the 997 GT3 as the benchmark for comparison...

1) How was the steering feel?

2) How was the weight transfer feel?

3) How was the shifter and clutch feel?

4) How was the throttle feel?

5) Are the peddles in the right place to heel and toe?

6) Finally, how was the visibility?

Thank you in advance!

I'm guessing it's Fort Ord, CA - just over the hill from Laguna Seca.
