Nothing better....
It's a spectacular day here in the midwest and the guy who works in the office next to me said "lets go to get a coffee" and I jumped up and we headed out the door. Luckily I drove my 09 Vert so we hopped into it and I dropped the top. He is a super conservative guy who commented that he didn't think he has ever ridden in a convertible car so he was digging it. On the way back I was able to get on it a bit and open up the NPP...his comments when I shut it down...."That was better than a roller coaster!". I think we have another convert.

A younger guy I worked with rode with me one time and after giving him the first 2 gears to redline experience he said it was better than drugs. Still to this day one of the best compliments my vette received.

Cool story.
Several years ago when I bought an '02Z06, my sister who is 11 years younger than I am, wanted a ride in my new Z. I got on it pretty good and my sister is yelling "this is like NASCAR". She loved it.
