Small world. I went to grade school in Katy Texas in the 80's.

That sucks big time. Ok Track mode check! Traction control off check! U turn in a C7z... Do not mat the gas pedal you will not like the results. Apparently not everyone knows how to drive a Z06.

FS: Low mileage Yellow 2016 Corvette C7.R needs minor body work.

Actually, total driver error/stupidity. The U for the service road that goes under the freeway at the I-10/TX99 interchange is designed to allow an 18 wheeler to navigate it with ease. There are no line of sight issues. Speed limit is well posted. Grand Parkway , TX 99 is a brand new freeway. http://www.grandpky.com/
