A few people this weekend asked if I had any photos available. So for those interested:

My new autocross ride. :twisted:

Those who autocross will be seeing alot more of it. Someone else needs to pick one up to run with me in SS. I don't want to be alone next year, and the prices of these things are really coming down to the point where us mere mortals can afford to own a supercar. I paid less for this car than I would for a new fully loaded Toyota Camry.

You are a loser! You should have purchased the Camry... "Now that's moving you forward"

You could have gotten a Camry Hybrid and singlehandedly saved the environment. The Z06 runs on freshly clubbed baby seals, doesn't it?

Too bad Vincent trashed his yellow rain suit. That would be a nice ride for the Gorton's Fisherman.

So is this why Adam is selling his? Out of fear of embarrassment? :wink:

Oh no you didn't :twisted:

I will have to just beat him in the RX-8 next year... I don't need 405hp to be fast.

at least I hope not

Anyone that wants to go head to head with him feel free to buy my car.

Nice color!!!! That's the one I like on that car. You don't have to run in SS you can run in ASP, SSM or even XP with us.
With only 200hp at the wheel I can still beat you at the autocross. :wink:

On track you should be ahead, my car doesn't have the leg to keep up with a Z06. Will we see you on track with it?

Looked up the Camry Hybrid and its base price is more than I paid for the Z06! Now, where is my seal club???

Well, part of the idea was to get something in which I could do well in RAW and PAX, so SS it is for me next year at least. Hopefully, I won't be slower in this car than the Miata, but who knows. We all know power isn't very important in most autocrosses, I think Vincent and I proved that this weekend. 107 whp!

Never say never, but certainly not anytime soon.

Congrats on the car. Good choice! I hear they make really good track cars :wink:

And get Patrice to ride with you. All I could hear him saying when he rode with me on VIR Full. I love the horsepower, go faster, go faster :lol:

If you don't take that car on track you will never appreciate what it was built for... Exhilarating!!!

I may come up to Sanford and watch you test it out. Something tells me it will be entertaining :wink:

I guess everyone is getting Z06's lately. Scott Farmer from Triad is selling his STi and aquiring his dad's 2002 Z06. I think we will get to see him try it out at the end of this month at the Dixie Fairgrounds. Now if I only had the money I would think about getting one.
