How long did you hold that last burnout in the ZR1 before you traded it in?

Keep that thing N/A, full weight, and hit 9's so I can hang from your n#ts this year.

And no the ZO6 is not faster than a ZR1. The ZR1 is a 10th of a second faster than a ZO6. Just being technical. You gave up, exclusivity, and a more comfortable and refined car.

Good times. Had a blast driving down, not too many guys my age can blast down the eastcoast in a ZR1.

The only hiccup on this trip was my sudden development of allergies. We stopped just on the edge of SC / GA for some fuel & to switch drivers. I said "man my eyes are really watering" About 15mins later I'm glad Bruce took over cause I was a hurting pup.



Bruce also left out the magazine I picked out for this car. They were fresh outta the Hot Housewives, so we settled on College Girls. Just a little reading material




Thanks again Bruce for taking me with. Soon it'll be my turn Maybe it's time to upgrade from the FRC.

Your Z looks great but what concerns me is how did you let that stang with rubber bands for tires beat you??? Did you miss a shift or something? I mean that should just never never happen!!!

Wait a minute... I was slowly rolling up on this guy so Bruce could snap a picture. Then I dropped her down into 3rd and rolled into it.

Bruce and taking GD pictures... Took 20 pictures of the sunrise, but no ONE of the girl in yoga pants riding the sport bike.

That being said, sometimes I think the ZR1 looks a little cheesy (more so on some colors vs. others), and I usually like the looks of a C6 Z06 better, depending on color, as its a much more cleaner and meaner lkookinga car, although I would much rather have a ZR1 b/c I am a performance fanatic, and it is the FASTEST and QUICKEST vette ever made and a TRUE ANIMAL

Not many people go from ZR-Z0, but sounds like you're a man with a plan. Good luck with the new ride
