    Just registered on the forum. I'm a big Ferrari fan, nice to see some good threads here from guys close by. Currently I'm a Vette owner...I have an '05 C6 & an '03 Z06 that's been supercharged...630hp...done at Davenport in Calgary. Sure is a lot of posts about ZR...I'll have to make it by there one of these days.

    I think performance-wise it will be killer. I haven't even really driven my new car yet...got it in November. Took it for a quick rip down the hwy. Stock it's gonna seem a bit tame...I'm gonna look into the new Z, maybe do a museum delivery for next spring.

    That must be killing you....a museum delivery sounds pretty cool. Did you do a museum delivery for the last Vette?

    No, I should have...got to itchy to have it & November is too late to drive it home. It would have to be a spring order unless you knew that you could get one that early...it's tough for the Canadian dealer based on their alotments.

    Rather then having the car delivered to your dealer, you can get the R8C option; museum delivery. They let you know the TPW of your car & you can fly into Bowling Green, and watch your car finish on the assembly line. The next day your car is on display in the National Corvette museum. No transport, no PDI at the dealer etc...All of the cars going down the line have a sign on them for the workers to know that it's a museum delivery...personally I would think there is a little more care put into them.

    Cool, I figure it was something along those lines. That would be a cool experience.

    I imagine the only cooler experience would be picking up a new Ferrari at their museum...
