i DID bring up the fact that the new Z06 has gotten a lot of 6speeders talking, and they agreed that the new turbo will have to trump overall, that car. of course no way of telling in what way and to what degree.

Welcome to 6speed hesperus! Great write-up! Thanks for taking your time to put that together for the rest of us, who didn´t get to experience such an event. You are a blessed man!

IMO, by far the nicest interior color. next to it, the gray interior looks terribly plain.
