Which reminds me: I spent last Saturday flying to Atlanta with my friend Eddy to pick up his new 2006 ZO6 Corvette. Six-speed, all aluminum 427, dry sump, 3,032 lb. car with 505 hp. We weren't even breaking 2,000 rpm at 85 mph (car is supposedly good for 198 mph although we never got above 90 on this 629-mile trip). But talk about tempting. The Valentine radar detector saved us at least twice; the highway patrolman nabbed another car both times instead of us. He was using instant-on once. We've traveled all over the eastern U.S. using the Valentine and never been stopped. Saved our butts numerous times.
I get to drive the ZO6 Saturday!
