Shaft?? Fred looks more like skinny azz Richard Pryor to me.




Congratulations Doug, That 427 Vert is an instant classic. But I guess you already know that.

The ride is here, just got back in late last night. Some observations on the new 427 convertible:

The trans seems to shift much smoother than the 09 Z, the convertible 427 brought attention where ever I went, people wanted to know what it was as the 427 was not available in a convertible. People dont seem to know anything about it. (Chevrolet, where is your marketing of this car?)

The ZR1 wheels look incredible but are a major pain in the butt to clean. As i recall there is something like 20 spokes on those wheels?

Cashmere interior looks incredible but can get dirty easily. CRM looks beautiful and draws alot of attention!

Congrats on a successful journey. I'm thinking that was you I met briefly at MAM while on the maiden day trip with my new GS.
