Default Road & Track article with my Z06 :)

http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars...ng-term-intro/

I'll have a new article coming out soon as I'm about to drive into Manhattan today with 2-3 feet of snow expected. PDR and multiple GoPros will be running.

Here are the images from the article in more wallpaper friendly resolutions.

Best,
Gene

Your nuts. I just put all my toys into their bed for the winter slumber. After taking out the '69 for a quick spin. The Z06 might make it out if we see a nice dry and > 30* day.

You should get to see how well the Level 3 front spoiler works as a snow plow.

I did similar stuff, out of necessity, years ago. My big tire sports car got stuck going downhill. Dress warm and take a shovel.

Considering the forecast, a 4x4 sounds more appropriate.


Frankly, I would be afraid of someone sliding into me and ruining my baby.

Black ice, slicks, and 650hp should make a great write up in ER daily post.
