Default 4th Vette, first Z06

Just traded my Red 1993 Coupe for a Red 2003 Z06. Its my fourth vette since 1988 (1986, 1987, 1993, 2003), and I will NEVER drive anything less than the Z06 anymore. DAMM THAT THING IS FUN! First time on this forum, greetings to all.

The Z06 does live up to its heritage. The new Z is just killer too. A worthy sucessor.
