first 200 miles do not brake hard if regular Z06 brakes. (CC brakes have diff break-in).
Try not to run engine one constant speed first 200 mi. Vary engine speeds.

Normal around-town driving for 500 miles will be perfect. Your first 500 will go by really quickly since you will probably look for any and all chances to get in and drive. Congrats!!

I had an aftermarket nav.in my 08 and I was able to play dvds while driving(not for me but my girlfriend)anyway on the stock gm nav I was told you can not play a dvd but there might be a way to bypass this? Is this true?

for break in - drive it like you stole it. 
My experience has been the harder you drive them during the break in period the faster they will be and the longer they will last. Of course within reason so long as the oil is properly warmed up to 165 degrees or more.

Enjoy the new ride. Keep it off the guardrail for the first 500 mi.

Some of the Forum members are reporting the new generation 2 Goodyear SuperCar tires are not as good as the generation 1 tire. The Michelin PS2 available with the Z07 and ZR1 is far superior to the Goodyear.

Congratulations !!! Black is such a beautiful color. I would rather drive than wash so I always choose a color other than black. They are really beautiful when clean.
I took it pretty easy the first 500 and then worked up from there. That probably helped me more than the car. I have never had so much power and speed.
The car never fails to put a smile on my face ! My wife calls it my mistress but she is happy too.

I think there is a company in New York that will take your unit and modify it. However since there is only one DVD player in the unit you would lose the NAV ability if you are playing DVD's.
