Driving next to your Z06
Okay,has anyone let someone else drive their Z just so you can drive next to it ..in front of it ..behind it. I let my wife drive it while I drove beside her and man that thing is just so frikin awesome.I put the 04 shocks on and lowered it about 1.25 inches damn it looks mean. Kinda like a military aircraft without wings.Stuck to the ground, wide and just ready.You know most cars out there all look kinda the same.This sucker
is just so wicked. Got a real big smile watching her drive it. Almost but not quite as big as driving it. She sure had a big smile though.Someday I while get over it but its gonna take a while.
:cheers: :steering: :flag

Never let anyone drive my car without me in it, but when I cruise w/ other vettes I can't get over how sleek and menacing they look rolling down the road, especially from the perspective of another vette.

I have several friends that have yellow Z06's, so I'm familar with what mine looks like. But I've done it before to hear the exhaust from outside the car.

Hell ya. Trade all the time with my buddy with a 99 viper rt/10. I LOVE seeing my car roll. Everytime I get into his car I feel like I'm in a big bathtub. I get back into min and I feel like I'm in slammed race car. And yes, with the two mods I have I've spanked him everytime weve raced. I have always LOVED the way the rt looks but inside it doesnt feel like I have any feel with the road. :cheers:

Hi GearGrinder -
Since my wife is 1/2 owner of our Z - she often drives it - and when she does I like to watch her drive away just to see and hear it from that perspective.
best regards -
