Default Rode in yellow rocket

Brand new '04 Z06. Dayum...whatta ride! No longer my thing, but good to remember n understand what all the fuss is about. I had no idea of the level of todays performance. Even on surface streets it was amazin...70 mph into 90 degree intersecting right, brake hard at turn, down thru gears, stand on it in corner, get slammed back into perfectly contoured seats n soak in the G's. Sweeet!

I had one for 3days and nights, same year, color.
15000k, I put a crap load more on 3 days, but
mine were super hard miles. besides performance
and sport. The most IMPRESSIVE thing I could
not believe, was it rode like a CADDILAC. the seats
were so comfy, they ended up in MEGLADON
