Looks like you had a great tip. I have made the trip from Boston to the NCM twice in the Z06. It really is a great touring car. Last year I had installed the 760s before the ride and was really pleased with their performance. I hope to do some more exploring this summer with the Z. Maybe Texas or it could be a drive to Colorado to visit relatives. I may even wind up in CA.
If you get to the JFK Library some day, let me know. I live in the Boston area and have never been to see it. Thanks for posting.

This is the last of the whole enchilada.
This was the route I drove, and mileage.
get your Vette on the road, they will not melt by rain, dirt, and bugs. You will not enjoy your car sitting in the garage.

Great trip and great pictures. My wife and I are going in June to Corvettes at Lake Tahoe, it should be a fun trip at least 6 hrs from home but I'm also looking forward for a trip to the vette museum in not too far future. Thanks for shearing !!!

Nice pics!
Overall impression of the drive-ability?
Did the DRM shocks beat you up?

Just curious why you dipped down into Dallas both ways? You could have stayed on I-40 thru Oklahoma City one directions and visited the OKC Bombing Memorial.

The DRM shocks were very comfortable, and handle The Tail of the Dragon, and The Snake flawlessly. You must know I'm a triple-C4 owner, and the two I have now have sports aftermarket suspensions. After you drive bumpy cars for 20 years, anything else are "Cadillacs"
