Default C6 Z06 run in

This isn't a race story, sorry...

I pulled into the grocery store parking lot yesterday and see a bright red C6 Z06. I'm in my 02 Z so I thought I would indulge myself and park a spot to the O.C.R. of this Z. As timing would work out, I'm going to my car, after shopping, and the owner of the Z is putting his groceries into the car. I walk up and say, "Nice car." He says, "Thanks, that must be yours behind me?" I was like, yep. And then we chatted for a little while. Guy says that car is a lot to handle. He says he's up over a 100 before he realizes, as proved by his ticket. This is also his first vette. He went all out for his first one. He said he did the museum pickup to try and learn more about the vettes in general. Seems like we got another to come to our side. Thought I'd share my experience with a Z owner yesterday.
