agreed 100% - its more important than you can imagine right now.... I knew it was important, and was smart enough to listen to those around me... I bought a C5 at 24 and a badass C6 at 26 that i still have... I'm 28 now and will consider getting either a C7 or entry-level exotic next year... oh, and i have a Jaguar XF Supercharged... and a Yamaha R1

Seems like a lot of excessive work now, but it will pay off

Give that resume to those GM recruiters, who knows you might be one of those driving the C8 test fleet cars when they roll out.

I think that's the way you market a younger target market..... let them experience the car by driving it! The car sells itself

I drove off and didn't want to be too aggressive with it. We talked for a while as I drove through campus. Once on Washtenaw drive, I had a chance to open it up. I took it to 4200 RPM and it was unbelievable. It RIPPED. It was stupid fast without any effort at all. Test drive totaled probably 10 minutes, but it was unbelievable. I'm 6'1, and I had tons of room. Front visibility was great. Side not so much.

I hate to think what he would do in his pants if he took a C6 Z06 to 7,000 RPM.
