So there I was, enjoying my drive home after the Superbowl last night, surfing the back roads and really appreciating my new Cibie H4s. The car was running beautifully and just felt perfect. Then I came up behind a brand-new Z06, really a great looking car and what the Corvette should look like...doing 32mph. Hmmm, driving home from the Superbowl in a car with more than twice the hp I have, and crawling along well under the speed limit.

Luckily he turned into a subdivision soon after and I resumed my very enjoyable drive. I bet I had more fun than he did.

GO GIANTS!

Ha! I was ready to read something like "At the light, I gunned it and so did he. When it turned green, we both took off. The Z06...."

Greatest encounter with a ZO6 I've seen was when an E55 took one for a walk on PCH in Newport Beach. After that, I think I know what 4-door car I'd buy next in a heartbeat

Cool, and also GO GIANTS!

They already went!

....and so the lesson here is that corvette owners can be poseurs, just like a lot of p-car owners are poseurs.

Or the guy was drunk and being careful...

Those two things are mutually exclusive. If you are drunk, you are not being careful.

Rules of the road state that you should never break more than one law at a time.

Like I said, after the Superbowl, driving home, reeeeeeellll slow. Seems obvious to me.

Me? Sober as a judge and enjoying the drive. Life is good!

That's it? ...Your "encounter"

I have spent a bit of seat time in a C6 Z06.....owned by a lister no less......after some serious on a backroad drive.....

I managed to get a ride around Thunderhill during a DE.....to say the Z06 is a beast is an understatement......its nice basically driving the track in 1 gear and still managing to hit almost 120mph on the straight + have plenty of power to pass people coming off lower speed corners at say 50mph.....that engine is VERY flexible......

However I did ride in a S4 that did the track in 1 gear too....also 3rd....honestly a properly setup 928 seems to handle as well as the lighter Z06.....it just lacks the brute HP the Z06 has....

I shouldn't say this, but whenever I see one of those cars next to me....I back off the throttle.
