How the hell did you get the keys to drive one? You are not able to test drive one as far as I know and they must be sold with only the treadmill miles that bowling green puts on them.

Thats exactly how Ive driven a lot of Ferrari's, high end Porshce's and Lotus' and all manner of Vettes over the years.

Poor folks has to trade in the $100k cars somwhere:-)

Course some of the Jags were hitting the $100k mark too.

Being a high line mechanic had its good points as well as bad

later

I think it is great that Chevy is making a car that is so easily embarassing those "elite", snobby European cars, and at a lesser price in most cases.

ha, i just wrote my college paper on that. That new vette is amazing, but i heard its a little unpredictable through the corners at high speeds.(no im not dissin the vette) But hey, at least its got a lot of good old straightline speed. I cant wait to see an ls7 in a thirdgen. cough: kandied: cough:cough

he already stated it's a force-inducted ls2...so still damn cool ....as for the new z06 I thought it was bad to 'test' an engine until a decent amount of road miles were put on the engine (say 500?)
