My business partner just purchased the E63 AMG. What a nice ride! I took it to Philadelphia from Virginia as a favor to him and it certainly is a great travelling vehicle. Nevertheless, I can see why you elect to drive the Z more often.
I just figured out that you have 1012 HP and 13 speeds combined with your 2 vehicles.
Have a great Holiday.

Thanks. The oil cooler really works. At what temperature do you feel you can rev to high rpms? I used to think minimum 180 degrees, but now I guess about 150. Took it out yesterday morning before turkey and managed to get temp into low 180's, but not until I hit mid 3 figures a couple of times. In matter of a few miles cruising, temp comes right back down. The C6 seems to be a street legal race car just about ready to run on the track with few changes.

I drive my Z06 to my office everyday. 3.4 miles there and 3.4 miles back. Saturday most of the time it sits in the garage and on Sunday I have early morning meetings and drive it and the rest of the family comes and meet me at church in our H2.

Still have to wait for it to be shipped from the dealer in MI.

Beautiful day up there, I wanted to drive her home, but would miss my Turkey Day plans if I did.

Should be here in a couple of weeks....looking forward to changing my sig...

Congrats! You will love it! Just remember to drive it every day to get the most out of it!

That's about my commute (4 - 5 miles). (although twice a week I pick up and drop off my baby about 30 miles out).

I live a lot closer to work than I did when I bought my first Z (02 with 62K miles on it). I'm hoping the shorter commute won't rack up all of the miles my old one did so quickly.

After having both a C5 z06 and a C6 z06 I can say that the
c6 makes a better DD. The number one reason is the shorter overhang which means alot less scraping in driveways, etc. Also the electronic entry/exit mechanisms make it so easy to walk up get in and start or walk away and lock automatically. Other than the fact that it costs much more I think it makes a much better DD.

My daily is a 1999 Cadillac Deville Concours with Moonroof, Bose, Heated Seats, CD changer, etc.. it is a nice and cheap inexpensive means of transport when I don't want to get the nice cars dirty

I drive mine 70 miles a day, 4 days a week, up and down twisty canyon/mountain roads. What a blast!!! Had an 02 Z06 before and drove that one daily as well. When it rains, I drive my other fun car, an 06 MX-5 with the Sports suspension package.

Now that is rapid transit.

I LOVE the "no key" to unlock or start. Everyone I show it off to I treat it like a magic trick.

(Nothing up my sleeve, presto!)

One question though, does it lock when I walk more than three feet away?

You need to elect that setting on your DIC. It's your choice.

Sweet, I'll check that out, that's what I want...

Its an amazing time to live in. Drive a 500+ horsepower car to work every day reliably and get better fuel mileage than most people's suv's and many sedans.
