Just a word of advice...take your time and get used to the Corvette's power and handling before driving it hard. My Z06 would get a bit loose in the rear when really getting on it, especially in the lower gears. Plenty of guys who "knew what they were doing" have lost control by not respecting the car's power.

Anyway, good luck and post some photos!
Yeah, I pretty much have learned what-not-to-do with the Z, so I have about as much respect for this as a loaded shotgun pointed at my head, with my foot on the trigger...the safeties stay on!

Even then, I'm trying to get used to the clutch - quite a bit different than most other cars...and not quite as stiff as I was thinking it would be - just touchy/twitchy towards the early part of the travel, which happens to be the zone that it starts to grab.
