Hi gang! I just got behind the wheel of the new Z06 for the first time and I cannot wipe this silly grin off my face!!! What a machine! I bought a 2001 Z06 when they first came out and I thought that its 385 h.p. was impressive. But it doesn't come near the performance of the Lemans Blue Metallic machine I drove today. I was amazed not only by the acceleration, but also the stopping power. What an improvement since the '01. I dropped her in "Competition Mode" and the responsiveness was simply amazing, a fine line between breaking her loose and getting maximum torque pinning you back in the seat. It even has a readout of how many G's you're pulling and in which direction! I am sooo impressed. I'll probably be keeping my '63 roadster forever, but it's time to seriously consider updating the Z06. I'm in love!
