92 and 93 legend coupes. 92 had 200hp and was stolen in 98 (guess where it was parked). replaced with a 93 that had the type 2 230 hp motor.

Frankly, he was very unimpressed with the Z06, especially after going through the brake pads after half a day!
While he liked the acceleration of the car down the straights, it wasn't the most nimble in the corners.
Of course, I am seeking to verify this guy's opinions: perhaps Marc should lend me that Z06 for the weekend....

) and having driven one on the street I can say it's plenty nimble for a street car. Where it really shines though is high speed corners... it demolishes just about anything on the road there... not to mention in the straights!!Even more exciting to drive though were two Factory Five spec racer cobras... they just shouldn't be allowed to be legal... I felt guilty driving that thing
Ok, so maybe I "bent" the laws a wee bit, but still.... wow. thats about the only word to describe it!-Kevin
