I drive one everyday, and i have one parked in my driveway right now and its mine till next week. My co-worker owns a few supercars and when he goes out of town he lets me take care of one for the time hes out. But yeah, it dosn't let you go into second gear if your under 60 mph. And if its new you can step on it, with new tires you wont lose traction. its a fun car.
Heres the one im driving now
if the blue devil ever gets released hes trading it in for it. Hes also been thinking of trading it in for a gallardo.
these cars have too many problem's though, just last week the roof ripped off, and had to take it the dealer to get replaced and bolted down. This car is in service more then its at his house

he turned off TC and everything to get the better performance....
those rear tires are sooooo wide....
the fastest car i had ever ridden in was a Mustang Bullit....so for me to drive this was amazing....

I think they look kicka** with the clear lens and color. T
oo bad there isnt more stages to Corvette's. It's basically your C6 and Z06, correct? Would be nice to have like a special edition or something even with though it's already an upscale performance car.

As fast as they are, corvettes are way to problem-ridden. A common problem is the fuel gauge not workig correctly. You have to pull the tranny, driveshaft, and basically entire rear end carrige to get to the two fuel tanks. Its like a 20hr (list) job. Ive seen about 7 already come in with that. The Cadillac XLR has the same problem and its pretty much the same deal.
