Now, throw that 707HP engine into my 1970 Cuda and I suspect it would turn heads....and tires. With that sort of output I would probably swap out the entire drive train... :thumbs:

Looks like you're a Corvette fan, too. I've had this one for 17 years and still only 81k on the clock.

Yes I am!

I bought mine, can't believe it, in 2004, 10 years ago.

I stopped into a local dealer and told him I wanted a Millennium Yellow Z06. He ordered one and when it arrived I was like a kid in a candy store....Drooling all over myself! :drool:

I was out driving it last night and happened to notice the millage.....19,305...

Wow! Those are some amazing numbers. I wonder if that will fit in my jeep? :rolleyes:

I drove a Lamborghini on a race track a few weeks ago and my head is still spinning.

Makes me appreciate what you guys who race(d) can control.

I do indeed like the new C7 body style and it's the closest yet to the Sting Ray of the 70s I think. We considered one but reality set in. Neither one of us can get in or out of these cars easily nowadays with aching backs and bad knees. Instead, it was a Jeep Dragon. Kinda funky looking but cool interior.

For years on Thanksgiving weekend the southeastern Corvette clubs would gather at Roebling Road near Savanna, GA and put on a high speed auto cross. It was so much fun driving that course as fast as one had the guts to go. I topped out at 45 MPH on the quarter mile straight way.... :whistle: Dunno what I'd do with 700 horsepower!

I agree on the ease of entering and exiting my Jeep over my Z06....
