Default Z06 Test drive..

Hello Forum members.

I live in East Tennessee. I would like to test drive a new or used z06. This may be a "pipe dream". Being in the market for a Corvette, I would like to consider all the options available prior to purchasing one.....

Anyone in the East Tennesse area that can help?

You're welcome to come out here and test-drive ours.... Of course, given the housing conditions out here, we'd expect you to go home and NEVER COME BACK! :D

But seriously, if you happen to be in the area, give us a shout - I'm all for making converts to the cause! :smash:

We're not that far from you. Maxie Price is located in Monroe, GA about 45 min Northeast of Atlanta. The drive through Chatanooga is fun! Come over & we'll go for a test drive!

Do you actually let me people drive the Z06's? Do you have demos? Hope you are not letting people test drive the new ones before they are delivered :eek: :D :cheers:

Monica,
Road trip to Georgia?.....Hmmmm Sounds tempting...

I am willing to bet you have one car of every flavor {coupe, vert, and Z}
Nothing better than lining up all three at one place and comparing.

Let me see If I can convince the wife to take a short trip in the next few weeks......

Given the chance, you may convince me to stay. Working for the Power industry, you may never let me leave. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

If we vacation in CA, I will plan a side trip to see you.... :D

Most dealers will allow you to take the car out on a test drive. All it takes is a small deposit... say, around $50K. :lol:

Test drive without guilt?
1. Fly into Vegas
2. Rent a Z06 from one of the many rental agency on the strip.
3. Take it into the desert, 15 minutes away.
4. Beat the crap out of it :smash: :smash:
5. Do high speed runs, burn outs, etc :lol:
6. enjoy the beautiful landscape.
7. :blueangel: Carefully return it.
8. Fly home :D

I did this with a 2000 GTS Viper in Feburary. Did a 5 hour rental and put over 200 miles on it. Almost ran the thing out of gas :nono: Must have a hole in the gas tank :eek: Made me glad I have a Vette :cheers:
