U.S. Armed and Z'dd
It's amazing to me how many of our members are in the Armed Forces!!
First, thanks to you all for your service, sacrifice and dedication
We all live a safe, suburban life thanks to all of you
The Z on the racecourse offers me my adrenaline rush.
Respectfully my question to the servicemen and women is that you already have a lot of adrenaline in your life....what attracts you to this car? Many of you fly jets and serve in ground combat units, I would think the Z would be ho hum compared to that?

<~~~~ Navy here.
I don't fly jets. I'm in the real Navy that drives ships!
Right now I am planning Tomahawk cruise missile missions...
I can't speak for the rest, but I try as much as possible to keep my "work life" and my "civilian life" separate. My civilian side loves the Z06!
...now that I think about it... so does my work side!!!

I work on the most destructive weapons in the world for the USAF but I get more nervous drive my Z06 on ice in the arctic waste land of Wyoming. I love the car and wouldn't trade that feeling of speed for the world.

I'm active duty Navy here.
I am a member of the Navy Band Washington D.C. so not a ton of adrenaline here either LOL. Performing and recording is great work but nothing beats hammering a blown Z car on the highway!

US Army here............
Leaving Saturday ( 2 Feb ) for a 1 year deployment. Driving a Z is a different rush then being in combat, a lot different. I'm just an old Airborne Infantry guy though.
Driving the Z is reaxing for me, combat, no so relaxing. The only time I get restless in the car is when a FORD or Import car thinks he has something......
You all be safe this summer, I sure will miss driving the Z around.
Go Army........................
