...you jump on the expressway after a second gear pull and take a look in the rear view. There is some dude with a stupid grin on his face looking back at you. I love it.

When you actually get on it, as opposed to the old men in standard Vettes, who never get close to the redline.

Uh! No.
Age 72 and hoping to see you at the track when it opens next month. Not a challenge, but always interested in seeing other Vettes racing rather than at car shows.

You know when you are a Z06 driver when you know all the driveways around town which cause scraping and are to be avoided.

When you look at an incline and say FAAAAAACK...How am I going to tackle this one...??

Slowly going up a little incline and say "don't scrape..don't scrape...don't scrape". Lol

When you spend $7k for heads, cam, headers, and tune so you WON'T drop a valve.
