Try To Wipe The Smile Off My Face!!!

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!

(the temp. got up to 210 degrees for a short period - yikes!)

210....that's nothing. My C5 see's that routinely. Has there been some changes in the C6 that makes this temp considered to be hot? My cooling fan (when not in AC mode) doesn't come on to somewhere above 210. What temp did the fan come on the Z06?

That was enough for Garlits to lay in the hospital bed and design the rear engine Swamp Rat. I remember having the 1/8 scale Revell model when the car first debuted. The one without the wing and the Gilmer Belt right at the back of his head.
