Sorry I haven't been around in awhile, I have been super busy.

Check out this article, this is one of the guys I race with, in the Zo6.

Check out the video in the end...

That's one happy kid, but I think his helmet is too heavy.

Link went straight to the video without the article for some reason.

But, along these lines, I got a good long look at a black Zo6 this morning while waiting at a light. Right car, right color.

I almost like it better than the ZR1.

Yes. Z-06 is a better track machine than ZR1. Those cars beg to be driven and test driver's limits compared to the Germans and the automated all wheel drive Japanese car.

Nice!

I'd take a Z06 over a ZR1 anyday.

I'll take either one myself...but yes...the Z06 is a real drivers car!

the automated all wheel drive Japanese car.

But can't you just shut off all the driver's aids on the GTR?

granted, you'd still be in a Space Shuttle cockpit with more information than you could possibly take in at a glance, but at least you'd be the one driving the car, not the car itself.

I prefer the Z06 as a track car over the ZR1 as well. A friend of mine once said it best: "Seven liters is the right number of liters."

That said I knew that the ZR1 could probably do better than a 7:21 around the Nurburgring, and it did. How much you want to bet that the Z06 can probably crack 7:25?
