Well I must say that this was some kind of a blast. Got to drive the new Z as well as the Viper and a 911 TT. Was in the air all night getting home so I will post my thoughts in the morning but as you might guess the new Z is one awsome ride. Here is some pictures I took while there. Enjoy.

Thanks for the pics, now waiting on your review when you get up from your needed sleep. Bet it was quite an experience. How many sales people were there?

Hey Zip, wonder where your car is parked at the big BG lot? Hope you get yours soon, my friend!

All three were very strong cars Zippy but over all the Z had them beat all to hell. You will not be disappointed.

Thanks for the pictures Rick! Looking forward to hearing more.
One question, the wheels on the Silver car appear to be painted....yes? We may have to change my order to painted. I really think the painted wheel looks particularily good on the silver car.

They all had the polished wheels on them. Must be the sun on them that make them look that way.

Hmmmmm........thanks for the quick response, but now I'm really confused as to which way to go!
I know it's cosmetic ...but some of us have a rather long wait for our cars!
All opinions welcome.

Thanks for your pictures and experience there. I'm sure that it will have a great impact on your ability to convey the excitement that we're all anticipating!

Did you see any XLR-V's?

I just went for the painted just because of all the problems with the polished C6 rims I've seen --- plus if I wanted to polish or chrome them later, I could do it for a whole hell of a lot less money than what they want for polished rims....

Yes, there are XLR-V's here, but they are part of a different group than the Corvette guys, so its likely he might not have spotted it.

Extremely good looking car though

Was the Z pitted against the new Viper coupe or the regular viper.
