Next Saturday is the one to not miss (Weather permitting) as its the Ferrari Day. Amazing cars show up for that......
Like to see that twin turbo C5 sometime! Sounds like fun...

Met several proud new C7 and Jag F Type owner this morning....very cool. Some new color and combos and got my first sitting in the optional sport seat. 
I encouraged all to join the forum if only to enjoy Phil's....uh, special-ness....as his mom explained that being different was a good thing....long before it was politically correct. Why he doesn't qualify for a handicapped parking pass I'll never understand.
Ok, stand by....when he gets back from the casino and logged on I expect a literary treat!

I overslept and missed out on Ferrari day
I'll try and be out next weekend.

Anyone here own a C7 and would be willing to let me do a test fit in the driver's seat at E@RTC this coming weekend. I'm considering trading up from my C5 twin turbo to a C7 but would like to make sure that the car isn't too cramped feeling for me. I'm 6'1 and 250lbs and the last C6 (which supposedly the C7 feels a bit smaller) I sat in felt "snug", but that was 50lbs ago and I'm still losing weight, so I'm hoping a C7 will be big enough... But I'd like to test fit before I put my car for sale.
Anyone willing? No driving required, I'd just like to sit in the driver's seat and perhaps move the seat a bit to see if it'll work. I'll gladly trade a ride in my built 347 powered twin turbo C5 for it

I sat in one at the local dealership. Felt very close to my 2012 C6 except firmer bolster. It felt a little snug in my outer thigh. But I'm 5' 9" and 200 lbs, athletic build + gut
I made it to the Saturday Ferrari day but not until 10:30 am and only 1 Vette there besides mine, a silver base model.

I made it too but left at 10:30. Saw a silver C6 and someone driving past in a yellow C5 Z06. Didn't bring my Vette as I brought 3 kids with me.
The event was great though. Made me feel better about my interior plans as some of those were stripped.

That was my MY C5Z.....I and my Youngest Son got there around 8:20am with it sprinkling pretty good, and hardly any cars....but the Ferrari faithful did not disappoint and a lot of them came, though the regular cars lots were pretty sparse. Only saw one other Vette, a Silver C6 next to me. We left around 10:30, had to get home and continue watching the 24hrs of Lemans!
