Thanks for the memories. I had one of those AWD Talons in blue and enjoyed it as much as any car I ever owned. So easy to drive quickly in all conditions.
And, yes -- it never gets old when the "average Joe" tells me how good my "new" Z06 looks. Been going on since my first Vette -- a 12 year-old C4 that had 84K miles on it when I bought it!

I've never been asked if my Corvette's are a C7s but I do get asked allot if they are new. One time I kind of got in an arguement with a guy. He would not believe my 1998 Corvette was 14 years old. He actually raised his voice at me and then called me a liar. I did not prove to him it was indeed a 98, he wasn't worth my time and he was agitated.
The vehicle I own that get's the "what kind of new car is that" statement is my 1991 Eagle Talon TsiAWD. When I tell them it's a 22 year old Eagle, some ask what is Eagle? Who makes that again? No way is that 22 years old. Even when I say Jeep-Eagle, they look confused. Surely they don't know DSM so I just say Chrysler.
