Thats a sick vette I would love to ride in one. Do you have any mods? I cant belive how fast these cars are, they are keeping up with 600rwhp kb cobras and kb GT500's as well.
Yes I would be happy to take you for a ride. You are correct about the vetts taking on and beating some cars with more HP. The reason is the 400 foot lbs of torque. Combined with the traction control and the brakes…If you make 500 hp for 1000 rpm you can’t touch the vetts who make if for a very wide range rpm. The old saying “there is no substitute for cubic inches†is very true…..427 CI is the standard….It’s pulling power that is the king. Had the big dog out today and warmed up the race car too... Good for the soul...Oh yea red things are for dessert….

Beautiful looking car. I'm sure when he winds out 6th gear in that firey Vette, it'll look like a meteor blurring by.
Good thought;;;; and cool car;;;;; the c6z06 top speed is achieved in 5ht gear, 6th is overdrive and the reason it avoids the gas guzzler tax......
6000 rpm in 5th is 202 mph on the test track in Michigan. And yes yellow is their favorite food...
You guys on the fourm are very cool.. looking forward to meeting more of you...Jim

I hate winters, not a good time for us car guys! I've been suffering withdrawls lately, so when the roads were clean and free of salt, I decided to get the Testarossa out and go for a quick spin. These cars don't like sitting inactive for long periods, so it was time to get her out and loosen up the old bones. After a few minutes to get the "blood" flowing, I gingerly drove over a bit of snow to get to dry pavement, and then drove granny-style until the temps were up a bit. Then I let her have it! The car really likes the cold air and pulled very strong. There were lots of stares in traffic, I mean who drives a Ferrari in the winter? But really if the roads are clean and dry, there's no reason not to get our cars out for a short trip. You will feel better, it's good therapy. Just thought I'd share this with all of you. I'm sure I'm not the only one getting the winter blahs.
Cool, I had the z06 out last sunday, you gottta draw the line somewhere..
No traction but it was good for the soul.....
