Nice! I know what you mean about the 'drive anywhere' feeling. The closer we get to being on the road with our '69 the more I think about not having air bags and AC, oh, and no room for the girls (our 2 little dogs) to ride with us I love the '69 but our '05 had a few little options I miss too. Enjoy your new ride!

Melting Slicks
Those are some fun cars! A few yrs ago I had a chance to take a ride in a C5 Z06 with a test car driver for GM at the Yuma Proving Grounds. We entered the skid pad at 90 mph at which point, he threw it into a 360' spin, drove out of it and did a bunch of drifting. Then He dropped me off and another club member took a ride. We were told these were stock cars, routinely driven in this manner with only tires and brakes wearing out. The cars are built to be driven. I also went along in a C6 about 3 times. What a thrill!
I've auto crossed my own C4, but never approached the speed or ability level of what a professional driver does.
Have fun!

The Z06 is a great car to drive. I bought a 2001 2 years ago and love it. I drive my C3s on the weekends, and occasionally on a Friday to work. But we take the Z06 for longer trips, or when we want to go cruise in comfort. And the stock speed in this thing is great.

The C5 Z06 is the performance buy of the century. Great car. Enjoy the ride!

I'm putting a modded version of this engine in my 74. Z06 performance, old school style!
