08 Test Drive
Had some time to kill while waiting on my 06 vert that was in for service ... asked my salesman if he had an 08 I could test drive ... I settled on MN6 Z51 coupe.
Was reminded again how much happier I am with a vert ... maintaining SA, changing lanes in traffic, backing in at the dealership much more difficult in the coupe.
Like the new console ... gonna have to get one of those!
The NPP exhaust sounds
at WOT ... think many owners will like having this factory option.
As for the LS3 ... not enough of a great leap forward to make me re-think my 06.

What do you expect from a guy that wears a skirt?
Just kidding; my wife and daughter are MSU grads. Glad you had a chance to drive one; many dealers won't let even long time customers near one.

I'm lucky to have a large dealership, and a great salesman.Great question! To be honest, I didn't take note ... I have to go back tomorrow, maybe I can do a follow-up ... plus the traffic on Sat will be much more conducive to a test drive than a Friday afternoon in NoVa.
