my gf and i were walking up to Quiznos about 2 months ago, and a burnt orange one rolled up. i almost fainted as the guy walked out, told me to sit inside, and asked if I wanted to go for a ride. He took me for a 20 minute ride and floored it every chance he had.

Hell yeah I would've done the same thing. My g/f knows how I feel about the C6 being the z06 she would've understood.

Got a chance to actually drive a new ZO6 (test car obviously). All I can say is wow!! And I'm not easily impressed. This is one sweet car. Everything about it is spot on. Clutch works great, lots of grab. Shifter is nice and smooth (never liked the C5 shifter). The brakes are like nothing I've ever seen/felt. The exhaust note sounds great, especially at 7000 rpm! The car pulls like a freight train in the first few gears...well all of them actually. Its surprising how well that thing hooks with the 325 meats out back. Makes me wish I'd have kept my car and built a superstroker. The exhaust looked to be at least dual 2.75", if not 3. That car is going to hurt some people, I'm sure. I will be green with envy whenever I see anyone driving one of those. Wanted to snap some pics, but I didnt get enough daylight.
