Hi all, first post. I'm still trying to figure out the different options on the Z06/7, but had to get an order in quickly -- my dealer called me with an available build slot.

Here's how I spec'ed things out -- for now. My goal is to have a super track-day car that is reasonably comfortable to drive to distant tracks. If it doesn't make it faster, or lighter, I don't much care. Oh yeah -- I realize the automatic is supposed to be faster, but I'm not sure about long-term heat soak issues when driving on-track in hot climates. Thunderhill gets above 100-degrees on a regular basis, and it sounds like Randy Pobst triggered the heat warnings on an automatic-equipped test car.

My biggest issue? I have to work out significant fit issues before taking delivery. i'm 6'7" tall and a reasonably fit 230 pounds -- but I do NOT fit in the standard C7 (not even close). Mainly it's headroom -- even without a helmet -- but I'll need more legroom to properly pedal the manual transmission. I only spec'ed the Comp Sports Seats because I'm hoping they're more like racing shells -- but my dealer couldn't give me any hard details on them.

With all that said, here's what I have. I welcome the input of folks who -- unlike me -- have been following every detail of this car since it was only a rumor. I was like that on the Z/28, but I really thought there was no way I'd fit into the Z06. However, after the Z06 posted a lap that was 5-seconds faster than the Z/28 around Milford, I decided to figure out a way...
