Very interesting article thanks for posting. I had a 67 327 which was totalled in wreck and just took delivery on a 2015 Z06. Kinda paranoid about the people driving around me here in NM

I have both.... the black BB Convertible (with a stick) in my Avitar that I've had since the early 70's and a Shark Grey A8 Z06. I really expected the Z06 to "dull" my desire to drive the '67. Interestingly, that hasn't been the case at all. It seems that I enjoy driving the '67 more than before the Z06. Obviously they are entirely different cars..... the '67 is kind of a brute and the Z06 is very "refined" but while they are from different generations, they are both great fun to drive.
