I keep it showroom condition and want to keep it like that.
Any Advice????
If I had two of em, I would be running the dog crap out of one of them.

While habitual high-speed driving on public roads is to be avoided, no one should be castigated for taking their Vette over 125mph one time.

It won't hurt the car to give it some WOT every now and then. Plus, it will make you feel a whole lot better.

There really is nothing wrong with opening it up on the highway if you're not an idiot about. Obviously, with other cars around....
But a couple miles of open road with no other cars....no on ramps....straight line of sight....
Some people here are just so damn PC about things.....

First pay attention to your surroundings, and if all is clear and safe. . .STOMP THAT ******! But only for a few seconds you'll need lots of time to come off the RUSH.
