Default First Z06 Sighting

Saw my first ZO6 today on RT 46 heading west out of Boerne, TX. That part of the road is nice if you don’t have some bozo clown who thinks 45 in a 60 is fast enough for any sane person in front of you. Sigh

Unfortunately for the ZO6 driver, he/she was trapped behind one of the anti destination league drivers. All double yellow lines and even if you want to ignore the double yellow, there are no safe passing zones even with the power of the Z06. If he/she waited for another 2 miles, he’d have an opportunity to rid himself of the traffic impediment. Don

As you implied, a fun road, I have driven it many times. Once with no traffic!

I was at my dealer getting my oil changed on Friday, they had a black Z06 coupe with the Z07 option on the floor. Wow, that car is amazing, it had a manual transmission loaded with 3LZ, chrome wheels and competition seats at $105K MSRP.
