Questions about 2005 Corvette

Hey everyone,
I currently own a Nissan 350z and thinking about selling it to get a
2005 Vette. I have some questions for y'all vette owners. Has anyone
here bought a 2005 Vette? Any personal reviews? Any major issues
already with the 1st year's model?

Pricing: Has anyone been able to get the Vette for under MSRP? I've
been hearing about how hot this Vette is , so wondering if one could
buy under MSRP. Wish i had the money to get the Z6 coming in September
,i believe. Also, the GM discount doesn't apply to this vehicle. Now,
does the GM Employee discount have any hidden costs or tricks that we
don't know about or is it really an honest price. Anything to be weary
or careful about this GM discount?

I've never been fond of American cars since my previous experience back
in the early 90s have been horrible. This would be my first American
car since my old Buick Skylark a while back. Any other good sites or
forums on the new Vette?

Thanks everyone.
Darren
