I almost passed out." And how does her loving husband respond? Does he say, "Are you OK?" No. His enthusiam over his new Z overflows into:"Holy Crap! Isn't this thing incredible?!"
Now THAT'S funny, I don't care who you are."
I agree! Hey Damian, does your wife ride with you anymore?

Every chance she gets! After her initial shock and annoyance with me passed on that particular occasion over a year ago, she has developed a deep respect for the C5Z. Since then she has been a passenger on the track and even drove it for 8-9 8/10s laps after she did an HPDE day--she was blown away at how fast and stable the Z was on the track compared to her Bimmer. Now she asked if maybe I'd be interested in selling it, since I've got the new one! She loves the LMB with the stripes, she thinks its very pretty! Maybe not the words I'd chose but can you blame her...

i've been begging lou to dyno it both ways.
would someone please do this already!!
thanks
