Z06 changed to C5R

Say Mufflerbearing!
I had a great ride in a 765 hp Vette this afternoon in the great state of Washington. I must admit that the Vette responded like a street machine until you got on it and it did wake you up. Z06 Corvettes can not be beat, no matter what one might like to say! The only thing I can say is I should be at the controls of the "Beast" as it definitley is. Like in the Corvette Quarterly, Bruce Melnick, ex- astronaunt in the NASA shuttles, likes Z06 Vette's. He definitley has very good taste. He should ride in your
Vette as it would be next to his ride in the space shuttle. I am sure he would experience all the G forces he is well use of them them.

It was my pleasure and the best part was that I made it home without the local constabulary flashing those blue lights in my mirrors.

Hey Pat...I'll get in line for a ride this spring. Too much snow and cold weather over here to break out my old yellar vette.

Hopefully there will be an area meet somewhere where you and Russ and I can hook up. I have been to the West Yellowstone meet a couple of times in years past put on by the Corvette Club of Southeast Idaho and had a great time.

Guess I need to start checking vette club sites for their activity plans.
