No, not yet..
I'm no longer expanding the garage, all I got left is the Lotus for a fun car, sold the GTO.
The Stingray is an excellent car, I have sat in it (didn't have comp seats, was still great) and played with the dash display. Fit and finish was excellent, truly world class!! I even fired her up but haven't got the chance to really drive one yet. Putting around a parking lot doesn't count as a passenger.
The thing I'm most impressed with is the electronic diff.
Do have a new 2014 Silverado LTZ coming though next week for the company car (excited!!!!!).

I would put a set of pilot sport cup tires (like c6 zr1 / z07 package) on the vehicle and a four point harness...It's already fast enough for anyone without professional experience, limiting factor is the tires not the chassis at 1.18 G on a 200ft skidpad!

Lol no, but I like what I've seen. I know a few corvette lovers, so I've driven a numer of generations. I think this one should sell well. A lot of great upgrades in this gen.

"After a full day of lapping the 1.6-mile Streets of Willow racetrack, our test driver warned, "Though PTM will make you lazy as a driver, it hardly diminishes the reward of driving hard." And reward it does. With PTM set to Race, our man clicked off a 1:24.6-second lap with a peak speed of 112.5 mph: almost 2 mph faster than the GT-R."
WOW the vette is faster than a track prepped GTR

White looks great. I like the fact that the top can be taken off and stored in the trunk. Even the base is pretty good for a weekend/track car.
