Re: C&D: Z06 vs. F430 vs. 997TT

Astonishing is right. I know lap times arent everything but gosh, I would think that the 997 tt would have blown the Z06 away....Ill wait for sport auto's nordschleife (sp?) time before i give up on the 997.....

Re: C&D: Z06 vs. F430 vs. 997TT

Folks - I just took a Z06 hot lap with a pro driver at Rev It Up in Orange County and the experience was surreal.

I can't quite come up with the right superlative to discribe the experience, but suffice to say that it's not unlike strapping yourself to a rocket and lighting the fuse. The whole time he was flogging the car around the track I couldn't shut the hell up. The Z06 kicks your ass then dumps you in a river with cement shoes.

The tour will be visiting 5 more cities in the coming weeks.
