I chose the Ortega alternative route and was surprised to see a certain blue C6 Z06 moving up rapidly on my stern, followed by another, in RED! Hi Doc? So the outbund retrace was identical in time.

Ortega was ok at best but 79 was awesome until Temecula Valley.
Yea, A Quik Z and me moved through traffic pretty quick. We took 15 to 91 and breezed through with only slow down at 91 and 55.

Great run through the country today!

Sure miss "The Block" runs. Some of my best times were with this group. I was at the track (Fontana Roval-AMA) yesterday.

Eyeballing a GS currently.

Next time, try the "AMB" (Apple Mountain Berry) a la mode. (Cinnamon.)

Yea, you should hear it inside.
I had middle of the road mufflers which seemed to choke the exhaust a bit. It's hard to get info on noise levels and flow rates because "loud" is different to everyone. So, I recently installed the next step up, full flow through mufflers--yes, it does have mufflers--which is basically a 2" straight through pipe surrounded by a glass pack. I think I'll go back to the other mufflers. A little less performance but quite a bit quieter.
See you on the next run.
