It spun into both 2nd and 3rd on the track when I turned off the traction control and Ive never come close to shifting without lifting.

Its a Z51 so the gears are short low, the thing that scares the crap out of me is how willing it is on the highway. How urgently it accelerates from 60 to 130+ . Then there is the willingness to corner at any speed with no body roll.

Speaking of cornering, the other thing that scares me about this car is when Im taking an on or off ramp at a very high but comfortable speed and some soccer mom is right behind me in a minivan while on the phone.

Sounds like some driving school time would make all of this a lot more fun.. have you thought about it?
