Just wait till you go to Spring Mountain, you will see things in that school that you did not know your Z was capable of.

Wish it was my Z. Wife bought ride from Musclecarexperience.Com. It was an A8. Thrilling when you put the accelerator on the floor and it digs. Brakes are amazing. Had a chance to buy Z recently...even permission from wife but where do you use that level of performance. Our Z51 is more than any hiway can handle (cop limited, not road) I decided a paid for 2015 is better than payments on a Z.

Ahh. You answered a few of my questions with your follow up. Yes, sure looked like fun. I was wondering why you didn't use the PDR for recording and why the A8 was just left in drive instead of using paddle shift. Still lots of fun. Going to Spring Mountain this October.

Dont think base Z has pdr. They used a go pro. From my experience mountain driving ....spirited...the A8 learns the way you drive and does a better job than you do. The car was always in the right gear for what i was asking it to do....GO FAST! Lots of full throttle!

Navigation / PDR is available as an option on any 1LZ or 2LZ Z06. It's standard on 3LZ.

Well. Sure looks like you had a great time. Even better with someone else's car.
