Congratulations on the Vette purchase. I'm on my second Vette since making the switch off my Trans Am. Definitely no regrets (except choosing black twice - bitch to clean!). I got Vette fever after driving my mother-in-law's 2001 A4 Coupe, and ended up in the C5Z a month later. I've had the C6 for almost 2 years now. I don't miss anything about the Trans Am (well, except maybe the color and the fact that it was my first performance/muscle car).
And going fast in a straight line is not what the Vette is about. Your first experience on a road course will keep you off the 1/4 mile, and you'll have a much bigger smile because the rush lasts a heck of a lot longer.
