Default Got It Real Bad, Now.

Newbie just signed up, finally on the hunt for my 1st 'Vette! Kinda late to the game, but my heart is still beating so WTF.

A friend asked me to exercise their C6 convertible once in a while when they were away last year, and I got hooked on the Borla exhaust note in 30 seconds .

I've been looking for a C7 GS 2LT M7 Coupe, but yesterday I drove a C7 Z06, and now I'm AFU. How am I gonna settle for only 465 foot-lbs of torque now, huh?

Cheers!

Earthtodan: Thank God you didn’t get in a ZR1! Excitement = $$. How much excitement can you afford? It appears you are hooked, the only question now is to what level are you hooked? Follow your dreams and best of luck.

I'm 68, so I don't think my reflexes are up to ZR1 par.
