Lol amen! Feel like I have to learn how to drive all over again! Been a long time since I have owned a manual transmission.
Night & day difference between the z06 and my 98 c5 ....... its very tight handling and stiff suspension. ...and lower (drags lightly when backing out of the driveway)

I like it!

It is pretty nice. Some "road wear" as typical of acar that is 11 yrs old. As any used car, there are some minor visual issues if you are on top of it. I will get it cleaned up over winter
