I custom ordered the car through Whitmoyer Chevrolet in Pennsylvania on 1/28/14 since none of the DFW dealerships had any remaining allocations for 2014 models (they couldn't even guarantee me delivery of a 2015 model during this calendar year) and took Courtesy Delivery through Huffines Chevrolet in Lewisville, TX. Courtesy Delivery is a program Chevy has that allows one dealership to order the car then have the factory ship it direct to another dealership. I took delivery of the car yesterday, 4/10/14, with 3 miles on the odometer! After putting in a few gallons of gas I drove it straight home and got a coat of wax on it. I plan to take a mini-roadtrip this weekend to the only Old Chicago in Texas, Killeen, TX, to complete the engine break-in. Until 500 miles the rev-limiter is set at 4,500 RPM with restricted usage of the throttle.

So far my impressions are simply amazing though; all the reviews and articles did not lie! The torque and response of the engine is a whole new world to me.

On to the pictures...

Congrats! We just had one of those identical to yours just leave the showroom!

Rice!

:)

Congrats!

Does that extra gear feel weird?

I've yet to even get into 7th, only made it to 6th so far! The upper gears are very long and you need some serious speed to even use them...speeds that would be illegal in most states besides Texas ;)

The shifter is great though! Incredibly tight! They packed 7 gears into a smaller space than the Evo's 5-speed even with the short-shifter mods on both my IX & X. It is very smooth and precise though; one of the first shifters I've ever owned that I don't immediately feel like it needs modding/fixing. It feels very similar to the OEM optional 6-speed short-shifter on the Camaro SS.

looks great. I bet it will be hard to find some good place to get it in 7th. lol

Texas toll roads baby :cool:

You bought a Z51?! You dick!

:lol:

I'm super jealous.

I'm considering a used one of these as my track beater in a few years after I see how they hold up to the abuse.

So far so good! There are guys making 1000+ WHP on the stock block/clutch/transmission already. It really is an awesome car, if you're ever in the area let me know.

1000whp! Jeez@!

Awesome looking car Kracka

Thanks dudes!

Nice pick up!

And even better color choice. ;)

White AND black...no way you can call me racist!

I love it , very nice choice.
