    Oh lawd...

    It's a monster. I've driven modded cars that are faster than this but its just not the same. Pretty everything I look for in a sportscar was there. It was like my C5 turned up to 1000.

    In short, Porsches, GT-R's, etc are cool but I still bet with the Plastic Fantastic.

    Remind me of a Batmobile.

    Cars like this I relate to motorcycles. They scare the ish out of me now but I know I'd get used to the power/speed eventually and then I'd end up D-E-D dead.

    That is why when you become comfortable with your bike, when it does not scare you, it is best to buy a faster bike.

    Did it have any mods done to it? I drove one with just a pulley on it and I was sold, just an animal.

    Bone stock, 250 miles. I'd imagine with a pulley and tune it would be vicious. The long gears dampen the delivery compared to the other modded 'Vettes I've driven though.

    Is that a pic of the one you drove? Looks vicious, love it. The one I'm planning to pick up in a few years will look just like that one.

    Were you able to take any vids?

    Would rather take the 2012 GS with the Mag ride control. Prefer the country rides rather than auto-x.

    Not a good enough driver to not kill myself with the ZR1 or the Z06
