i know i guy that races corvettes...
he just bought a Z06..
he took me for a ride on the paved county road....
he pulls over and tells me to drive!!!!!!
he said to get to about 40 and put it in 4 gear....
i stepped on it....DAMN!!!!!!
i hit 80 like nothing then continued a little (wink wink) more....
he told me not to step on it in first or second....obvious reasons...
he also showed me how hard it can brake....wow....

well this guy has racing tires on it and they get better traction then stock...
he has i 2 other vettes that are even faster than this one.....they make bout 600rwhp....

he turned off TC and everything to get the better performance....
those rear tires are sooooo wide....
the fastest car i had ever ridden in was a Mustang Bullit....so for me to drive this was amazing....
plus u got remember im only 15 and some change...

Dude you're lucky as hell, there's no way If I had a Z06 I would let a 15 yr old kid drive it, or anyone else for that matter. lol

And Spin you have some awesome friends...

Looks awkward how the backing to the headlights is the same color as the car..kind of euro-wussie-ish.

well... they could have been chrome, which would have looked even worse, and dark like the 01+ mustangs would have net been everyones cup of tee, would have been too dark, like, not everyone wants blackout headlights lol

I think they look kicka** with the clear lens and color. T

oo bad there isnt more stages to Corvette's. It's basically your C6 and Z06, correct? Would be nice to have like a special edition or something even with though it's already an upscale performance car.

As fast as they are, corvettes are way to problem-ridden. A common problem is the fuel gauge not workig correctly. You have to pull the tranny, driveshaft, and basically entire rear end carrige to get to the two fuel tanks. Its like a 20hr (list) job. Ive seen about 7 already come in with that. The Cadillac XLR has the same problem and its pretty much the same deal.
