Default Tadge reviving the z06

Took a little video of Tadge revving the Z06 after a French/US chamber meeting. Man I get such Ferrari 458 vibes... I'm more excited about this car than any of the hypers..

Edit: title should say "revving".. darn autocorrect.

Tuesday evening the gentleman who takes the z06 around to different dealerships revved the z06 to about 4200 rpms for me. Sounded awesome. The cold start was a hoot as well.

cant wait!

A little self deprecating humor… too many people take themselves too seriously.

I agree 100%. You can't beat that L88.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I preferred it to the Z06.

Agreed. That L88 doesn't sound too shabby either. Way more expensive as well.

L88 wrapped around C3 styling in red makes my heart beat faster. What was that other thing?

I had a built LS7 in a Z06 that sounded like that L88. Music to my ears

Z06 is faster at 10.6 quarter mile time than an L88, but not by a large amount as you'll see in the test. Impressive for a car built over 50 years ago.

ah…with respect to pure sound, that red vette just took the C8z lunch money…I think, to be honest, Tadge was probably embarrassed he had to go second behind that beast. Sorry but sounds like a fart can compared to that L88
