Morning thrill everyday!

Life is fantastic when you get behind the wheel of our C5's and enjoy a little gas fueled excitement!

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

My gas has been coming from some other place lately though. Haven't been able to drive the Vette.

So it was a leisurely start and at 15-16second mark to the 25 second mark or so it was a healthy run to about 100+mph. Of course it really didn't shut down until I passed the 120-130mph mark. It's just incredible how easily this car runs and it get's more power as the RPM's build.

The cops have already claimed shotgun! They get their turns in the passenger seat.
