Hi Jeff,
Great to hear from you. Glad you are getting the Camaro out. As for me, this coming weekend I may be taking the Yenko to a show down here in Fort Myers. This will be only the third time I have had the car out of the neighborhood in the 4 1/2 years since we left Medford, NJ. I almost feel I have to keep it under lock and key and not anyone near it, I need to preserve my time capsule". That is why I purchased the 2006 Z06 Vette. Something I can freely go for a blast in and not have to worry about it.
Speaking of the Vette and to answer your question, yea I love my new Z06. It's comfortable, runs low 11's, stops on a dime, will do 200 mph and last tank I got 21 miles per gallon around town (over 30 on the highway) when babied. Hey regarding blowing past that Z06 like he was sitting still, he must not have been getting on it, or you had slicks on??? Since you said the sticker was still on it , maybe he didn't want to get on it to hard because he was under the 500 mile break in. I know, I just past mine (650 miles now) and refused to beat on it until I broke it in properly. I don't mean to discredit your car because you know I love it and have for at least 25 years. But I don't think you can walk past a Z06 like you say unless he wasn't on it hard or your running low 9 second quarters. Please don't be mad, I must defend the amazing Z06 cars for what they really are, as 427 Camaro's are, amazing. Also I must tell you that "Flyingn" is correct, Ranger form the Vette forum has made a passes of 10.85 @ 129 mph with DOT rated drag radials and 11.20's on the original tires 100% show room stock. He does this through driving experence and technique. He also gets up to Atco if you want to check it out! Many guys are running low to mid 11's with nothing done to the car and not much experence.
Here is a thread I posted a few weeks back. Ranger has a video posted on it as well.

Now on to the topic I posted, does anyone from Wilson Boro remember my car in the late 60's or early 70's? Keep in touch Jeff.
