Jeff - was it really 8 hours of laughter? Or was it more like 8 hours of giggling like a little girl with sore cheeks because you are smiling so much? =D Glad all the effort was worth it! | ||

sorry, Mitchell, I didn't get that close of a look at it. I did see it fairly clearly in my rear view though! I'd guess the Z06 would be a good challenge for me. | ||

Jeff, with 350rwhp, the corvette shouldn't have been that much of a challange. Was it a z06 perchance? | ||

Well, really only about 7 hours. I zipped home from Norwoods in my new 348 tt "expediciously". I left at about 6:30 am; I couldn't wait to get on the road. Let me first say this: I've always considered myself to be a very competent driver, even better than most without professional training. I don't drive this car worth a damn! I am getting used to it now and am already much more familiar than I was when I picked it up in Dallas. I wasn't on the road about 15 minutes when I first was antagonized by a new Mustang. For him, a nice look at my fading tailights was in order. I gave it to him. Later on that day, a new (maybe 2000-2002) Corvette wanted to hear the turbos spin. I let him. He was a much more worthy opponant. At about 70 MPH I down shifted to 4th and went straight to the floor the car revs FAST from 5000-7000 rpms. I didn't ZIP past him, but I did handily walk away from him by about 100 or 110. I let off as he was clearly in my rear view mirror at 140. Big ADRENALIN rush! I think I'll drive it like this for a while........... |
