Raced a New Z06

[TerrysSPF]

All forms of racing are fun to watch, and even more enjoyable to participate in. I've always loved road racing, but I spent a lot more time on the 1/4 mile tracks. Straight line acceleration is, and always will be, the "tuff talk" on the street. It's all about HP and TQ and less about how your car handles and how good of an "overall" driver one is.
Oh, I don't know.............perhaps it's an ego thing. Or, just a "thing" for speed. I ran Track all through High School and College so I equate it to a Track meet. The 100 meters will always be the highlight of the meet..............not the Mile run. Nobody cares who can pace themselves the best and run around in a circle and cross the finish line 1st. But get a line of guys in the starting blocks, fire a gun and see who can shoot themselves down a straight away at top speed and break the tape before anyone else.....................ah, now THAT'S racing!

BTW, I ran the 100 meters in the low 10's.........and I owned a blown BB Chevelle that ran 9's in the quarter. But, becoming as physically fit as one can, and pouring as much money into your can as you can muster............there will always be people out there who are faster. That's the beauty of racing.
