They are an absolute blast aren't they! a friend of mine lets me take his for the day here and there. my favorite part is the sound they make even with stock mufflers.

Way to go Johnny, you lucky guy. I would get the Jet Stream Blue and then repaint it LeMans Blue.

Johnny, I need to find the time to hook up with you guys. Mine is a 2010 JSB. We just added the Lingenfelter pulley upgrade. Made I think 669 TQ and 589 HP at the wheels. 60 more HP and 100 TQ just from the simple pulley change. I will post the Dyno Sheet in a few days. All I can say is WOW And you thought the stock one was fast.

That is awesome CONGRATS to you how cool is that (i'm jealous)!

If it don't rain take your new monster ZR1 out to lunch with us this Saturday there is a seperate post in this section regarding a big lunch get together this Saturday (April 24, 2010).

If it rains take your daily driver to the lunch unless you don't mind taking your ZR1 out in the rain but something tells me she don't come out in the rain.

I might drive my vette in the rain if I get the weather stripping in by Saturday.
