Default Scary Fast Z06

Hello to all

Just broke 500 miles today on my torch red 02. Did some serious WOT today. This is a car you MUST respect. Its power reminds me of my bracket race GTO that ran 12:20s only this is a street car. No matter what the true 0 to 60 time is, this car is way FASSSST. Lovin every minute of it...

jrd :) :) :) :) :) :)

I fully agree, this 2002 Z06 is a rocket. It will break the tires loose if you even think about WOT....

We love it, the Electron Blue w/Mod Red is just icing on the cake...

Yup...Breaking the tires at will in 1st or 2nd is awesome! It is tough trying to learn how to accelerate without flooring it all the time.
