Will you be doing the optional brake and tire upgrade alone with the lip kit as well

HAHA naa...in all honesty, the tires and brakes on this thing with the Z51 package are incredible enough as it is.

Congrats, thats a sweet color. I finally saw one of these at a Caff&Octane Meet recently and I must say the rear is very nice. For some reason in pictures it gives a fish eye image look to it- this isn't so in person. Owners was nice enough to let me sit in the passenger, I wonder how it feels with a lead foot in the driver seat. I'm sure you will update us on this.

The powerband is fat and strong, that's the best way to put it. It just keeps on pulling in the upper RPM's (redline is 6500), so that plus the longer [than Evo] gearing really makes it feel like a highway monster!

no doubt an awesome looking car. used to the power yet? did the break-in procedure request some time driving under heavier loads?

Not used to the power yet...especially with the longer gearing than the Evo has! Heavy loads were fine during break-in, the main things were varying throttle, speeds, no high RPM (the redline changes based on engine temp & odometer), blah blah blah. Having a ton of fun though

This car is a rolling computer! Got in my car this morning, fired it up, noticed the touchscreen going through a strange rebooting sequence, then saw there were quite a few new options under the Home --> Settings --> Vehicle menu! The car now has the ability to auto-lock the doors when I walk away from it plus a few various other things (supposedly updated nav maps/POI's as well). Pretty cool! I guess Chevy must have updated it via OnStar's 3G connection.

Very nice. As always great taste in color choice and options. Its strange I was just thinking that I would replace the Evo down the road w/a C7 Z06.
