Default Saw an 06 Z06 on the road today!

I was cruising thru town this afternoon in my VR Z51 6 speed and coming the other way was a VR Z06. Passed me headed in the other direction. The scoop in the nose gave it away and as it passed by I noticed the flare in the rear wheel opening. I live 20 min. from Motown so it's not unusual to see cars with a manufacturer's plate before the public get their shot at one. My neighbor down the street used to bring home a different color Ford GT each week for evaluation. Too bad I'm not a car thief!

You have neighbors that drive a Ford GT! I have neighbors that would steal one.

Just kidding. My neighbors are good people... even the guy that drives the Mustang.

Actually he brings them home for the night but returns them in the morning or they send out a search party. He works on the development team where they build them 20 min. from my house. Kinda like being on a date with cinderella. At midnight he goes home to the minivan in the garage.

Yeah, but at least he gets to "have his way" with it before midnight comes

I think they're supposed to start production of those July 25, according to Ken's newsletter. Orders for them go in the month of May, I think he said.

Actually no but I was so interested in rubber-necking the car as he passed by that I forgot to wave myself. I was tempted to do a U-turn and try to follow him to get a better look but that would have been a little risky to me and others. It sure did look cool coming at me from the front though!

Jump in with a smart-a$$ comment, call people a liar, and then jump back into their hiding places waiting to snipe again.

What possible reason would I have for making my post up? Like I've got nothing better to do than lie on line? My dear departed Dad had it right when he would say, "Everyday every man is a Damn Fool for aleast 5 minutes. The secret is not to have your 5 when he's having his." I think I'll let you have your 5 all by yourself.

I hope an aftermarket company comes up with a removable top option for the Z06. This is the only feature that bothers me. I like my coupe a whole bunch and have the top off all weekend, every weekend.

Don't sweat it, dude. It's just part of the ever growing A-hole contingent that is becoming more and more common on this forum. I'm sure a lot of the keyboard snipers(as you referred to them) wouldn't have the ***** to make any of these comments to your face if they saw you in person.
