I will tell you this. After 28 days of going 18 knots on a good day I feel I earned every right to go 56 mph. Its like the matrix when everything slows down

Funny the other day I was told "what the hell are you doing with a Z06? I only see old men driving those and I pass em daily".


Later on that evening a quick burst from 50-95mph in 3rd gear in 4 seconds (hey I was slipping and sliding!) had them reaching for grasp handles..lol. I love it!
