Hey all, I've heard about this site for a while now and finally decided to join up. Tons of serious cars here. Anyway, I'm always looking for a good cruise in/get together with some other car fanatics.

I'm based in Naples. I have a C6 ZO6 with a few mods...

Later!

Scott

Sounds like it's quite the beast.

Do you track your car?

It can be a handful at times. It feels slow now. Ready for some more hp...

I've taken it to the local 1/8 mile dragstrip that's it...unless you mean road track, then no, not yet, but I would like to!

WTF??? Seems slow? You're setting the bar kind of high aren't you?

Yeah, I meant road courses... I bet this car is fun on the 1/8th, and even more on the 1/4, but I'm sure it's infinitely more fun on a road course.

LOL, it's slow compared to what I am used to...all out drag car. I have not gone to a 1/4 mile track but plan on it this winter after the rains stop and it cools down some. Road course would be killer! Maybe one day.

Sweet Z06.
I've run against them and they are savage. I consider them on the street to be a gold standard to run against if you think you're fast.
Welcome aboard the 6 and beautiful vette.
btw seen some nice runs between Z06's and 997 GT2's. Relatively equal power but of course NA vs. FI.

Cheers,

Ranger

I would like to see a 997 GT2 and a Z06 go at it, that would be awesome.
You mentioned NA vs. FI but don't forget RWD vs. AWD as well.

I'm looking for videos.
btw the GT2 is RWD unlike the 997TT.
