Default It finally happened today...

I "bonded" with the C6 -- sorta. I was driving home and on the freeway saw a Vette way up in the distance. I usually try to wave so I decided to catch up to him.

As I got closer I realized it wasn't a C5, but damn did this thing look hot from the rear. He took a different exit, but I still hung in there because I had to check it out some more.

I got up close. It was a black C6 Z06, and it was one hot looking car. It looked great from behind as well as from my rear view mirror. Its stance is simply like no other car on the road.

Although still not a fan of the C6 coupe, I have to say that C6 Z06 had me shakin. All I can say is, WOW!

And yes, he did wave back.

I'm not a huge fan of the C6, but the Z06 C6 is hot.

I've seen one C6Z06 on the road. Bright yellow in Tyson's Corner, VA.

'It' moved.

Chevy sure hit the mark with the new Z06. But, even the regular C6 is beginning to grow on me.
