I've been in Bowling Greeen Kentucky now since Thursday for the 5th annual F-Body Reunion (at corvette Assembly Plant)
Pretty cool (it's over today)
We saw the first truck loads of Z06's ship from the vette factory
We got a tour of the factory and saw them building several Z06's
I won some pretty cool items... I got two large pontiac flags (official GM... ) and I got an Autoshow Impala SS thing on Plexi-glass (only w-body item offered and I got it cheap)
But the kicker is...
Tonight we're at a hotel... one of the big wigs @ GM drove a C6 Z06 (not a production model... LS7 and all..but some minor things not the same as the production... like the Z06 emblem lacking the 505 in it)
well... tonight we're at one of the hotels hanging out, the GM guy is there as well and we're talking about a particular reason to go to Detroit for the autoshow on January 9th.... well... i didn't bring a chair w/on the trip... so he sees me standing and says he has an extra in the back of the Z06.. hands me the keys and says "you can pull it up here if you want" ... (it was on the other side of the hotel, so not like a huge distance) ...
But .... I had to decline Cause I don't know how to drive stick and didn't feel it wise to learn on a 70k sports car heh (once moving I can drive stick... but reversing, getting moving, and stopping I sux0r at )
So that's my story from this weekend....
oh... and the Z06 Corvette rear tires... 325/xx/19 (not sure of aspect ratio) .... things are HUGE!!!!
