First Encounter..........
Well, had my 1st look at the new Z06 today, I was cruising down the highway and I noticed the running lights coming up on me. Sure enough, a nice red '06 Z pulls up to my side. We got on it slightly and got off the next exit to talk.
Ergonomics are just about the same in the interior although it does look fresh, gauges(etc) are all updated. He showed me the fuse mod which woke the cars exhaust note up. All in all it's a nice car, couldn't justify spending $79k right now though.

...I can't wait for my close encounter of the third kind with the new school bully to test my H/C '03 Z against. I am tired of picking on snakes and porsches! My buddy says I live in a small world and it is only a matter of time before I am humbled..... But if/when it happens @ least it will be at the hands of another Z06.
