So I'm washing the car this weekend...

As I am cleaning the wheels I then take a moment and look at the CCBS.
I'm telling myself at that point, "I can't believe these dudes put CCBS on this car."

I know. Lame story and thought.

Lol, cool story brah. I cant believe it either. After reading the LS7 development paper, I cant believe they put that motor in this car either. They could have called the 1LE the "Z28" and everyone would have been happy. Buuuuttt, nnnoooooo, they had to make this insane car, and I love it.

I know. These dudes put an LS7 in there. What were they thinking. Al and Mark get it.

You know that is some serious grip and braking power when your tire rotates on its rim. I like these kinds of problems:

Your not alone. I had that same moment on Sunday cleaning the wheels.

I think my mental quote was "mind blown".

First time I saw these cars in person I said - "I gotta figure out how to get one of these." Huge grin.

I pinch myself every time I hit the key.

I'm still in shock that I own one. Driving it is surreal.
So is looking at it. Unbelievable. What the heck.

Agreed!
My Wife thinks I'm nuts because I check on my car every night right before bed...right after I check on my 2 little boys. The Z is part of my family and I love it!
It was an unattainable dream car until a few months ago when the prices came down!
We own a unique, limited edition, collectors car that's a track beast at the same time!!!

I smile every time I walk up to mine. Get in, turn the key, pull away... smile gets even bigger. It's an awesome experience...every time!
