Default Soooo.....

i had the most amazing expierence today. Just got back home a little while ago from driving a 2009 ZR1!! I don't think i'll ever get this smile off my face! The car is amazing! pulls hard as hell! rolled into it in 2nd gear and part way into 3rd and i was probably going 130mph. It didn't feel like we were going near that fast. Im not ever sure if i was 100% throttle either. Roads were a little damp in places and it isn't my car. im pretty much speechless. about all i can say is wow! I can't thank the owner enough for giving me that expierence.

Does your Grand Prix club know you are cheating on them with a vette?
