Well, he was at a prayer meeting at my mom's house, of course she calls me to come over, that Dr. Jarvis wants me to see his car. I go and we talk. Well he takes me for a ride, and WOW!!!!!!!!!!! This thing is ridiculous, I have never been in something so fast. He put it in Competitive Driving mode, and put it in first and got it sideways. He put it sideways through the first 3 gears. Well, I was not as scared as I should have been, he's also a Stock car driver, and also raced in NASCAR years ago. It is not modded, it's BONE STOCK, doesn't have Run-flats either. As fast as this thing is, I can only imagine riding in an 06 Z06. I'd doodoo on myself. Anywho, I'm pretty stoked. I need a Turbo asap, and a new job.

cool story. Better get to class if you really want to join the Z06 crew is all I can add!

I know all about the Z06, I know they are nasty, especially with mods. I have just never witnessed or felt the power in person.

Hmm I wonder why IMO this is the best colr combo ever with these motorsport wheels. I had a black Z06 before this with stock wheels and this red one just looks 10X better
