John,

I hear you bud, and if your not afraid of salt powder/salt I don't blame you; however, as I am sure you know there is a TON OF SALT on all the roadways, and if we can go another week of no more salt then there would be that much less salt out there.

I have always said a little salt powder really isn't going to matter in the long run on these cars, or have an impact when you sell or trade the car in if you ever do take it out on day like today ; but most vette guys just can't stomach getting this much salt powder on their babys!

I put about 60 miles on today and am now at about 210 miles total. It is filthy already, so a little more dirt wasn't going to hurt it. It was a really nice day for a ride. I am loving the new C6 Coupe.

At a boy Frank , afterall they are just cars that can be replaced with a drop of a hat, and a little salt is not going to matter in the long run, and these beloved cars of ours will be here long after we are all gone!

I am glad to hear that you LOVE your new Cyber Gray LS3 powred C6 Coupe. When you get a chance to romp on it will be interested to see how much faster it feels to you vs. your C5 Z when it was stock.

I know the C5 Z might feel faster b/c it is more raw, but tough to beat that 436HP LS3 motor, with the Z51 performance upgrades (awesome car) and pretty certain that all esle being equal, your new LS3 Coupe would beat by a couple of car lengths, your old C5 Z when it was stock, from a 0 to 125 mph drag race, even though I know you could care less about that type of stuff!
