Non-Z06 owner here but I'm among friends /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif. You can also count me in the crowd that wants a Z06!!!

I attended an NCCC AutoX event the past 2 days at Hernando County Airport, FL. I ran 2 events yesterday and 4 events today. By the end of the day I had finally whittled down my time to a personal best of 29.8 /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif. A far cry from my first run of 34.8 /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif All this thanks to some great advice from 1FastDog and many people at the track welcome to help a newbie!

Now the real reason to post, besides me sharing a what a great time I had and meeting some great people...I WANT/NEED a Z06. I'd love to get a second vette, the Z06, and AutoX the hell out of it!!! Who knows maybe in 2 years when this one is paid for...I can dream /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif!

MG - I run first AutoX next Saturday - Z06. I only hope I can do the car some justice!

Mark,

What cars were you running against and how did you come out placing in the competition? AND how does the classing of a Z06 compare with a regular C5 for autoX??

AmishVette...I'm sure you'll tear up the track..just walk the course and take all the advice you can soak upi by sneaking up on conversations...hehehe /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Felkebg...I was classified as Class II however since I was not getting points I ran in the open class. My lowest time was right there with allot of the cars running except for the race prep'd cars. I think the Z06 would run in Class I which is stock, no mods. That's the way the car comes from the factory, so it's good to go. I may be wrong, so maybe someone more schooled than I can chime in!

Mark, you can always trade up for an '02!! /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Sounds like you've got Z fever.

Hey Frank,

Dog showed up for moral support and VERY useful advice only! So no runs for him.../phpBB/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif but it was good to hook up again!

If I tried that "trade up" trick my wife would probably take the same route yours would when you trade in for the new blue...

But man am I hooked...I really would like to find a second car strictly for autocrossing! And the Z06 fits my competitive nature and running stock puts me ahead of the game /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif!

looky there...my post count is the same number as my car# for the past 2 days
