	The Doug Nash 7 speed manual overdrive transmission, from what
I have heard, will not be available until September or so.  Has anyone
out there heard any other rumours about that?

	I have written a long letter to the Corvette Project Manager
in Michigan, which I have copied to the Popular Mechanics Owner's
Report Editor.  I was originally going to post it to the net, but
it turned out to be over 400 lines long.  It basically covers all
of my gripes with my car - all of the bad things that have happened
in the 10 weeks I've owned it.  I've left out all of the "ooh-aah"
stuff everyone's seen in the ads, etc., and have included lots of
little nits about things they could improve.

	If anyone is interested in reading the letter, I will be
happy to send them a copy.  If enough people resond, I can post it.
I'll also be happy to answer anyone's questions on the car (and yes,
I do have both the Z51 Performance package and the Bose stereo, and
yes, the car is black).
