True that! Or one of these! Couldn't shake him !!! All over me, I had to pull over and let him pass! But with that said, the Z06 is one hell of a car !!!

Sweet I just did it this past winter for the 3rd time. It is a great road. Love the whole area near Tellico Plains Tn. The Cherohala Skyway is also a great road in the area.

I did it last year several times and had a blast. The sport bikes who were putting there head into the oncoming lanes were making me very very uncomfortable. One guy literally almost killed himself on my car. I was squarely in my lane, he was not.
