ya thats right,
the new z06 vette, Got a friend whos dad is a doctor he paid around $80K for it
Now, the ride
well when i got in i was already shaken up but when he started the engine i S#*ted myself.
its got that old school big block sound with new values. driving around town is manageable
but i could tell it wasnt really a "drive across the country" car it is quite noisy when going over 70MPH
but youll forget all about it when you hear the LS7 V8 reach up for the redline.
we live in the very edge of vegas so we took the highway north to Reno (this highway is completely deserted)
So we get on the freeway and he pounds on the gas. It was only a matter of seconds untill we were at 150MPH.
criusing at 150 is quite nice [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]
Then we went for it 160.........170.................180............... .......185............190!!!!!
this was crazy.
Well we got back to the house and it got crazier
how did it ger crazier you ask? HE LET ME DRIVE!!
you heard me he let a 14 year old drive an $80K car (the streets are empty on this side of town)
well it was the expirince if my life! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/worship.gif[/img]
everyone needs to go check out this car

I was driving well before I was 16 but def. not at nine. I got my first Mustang before I even had my drivers liscense. I can believe that he let you drive it for a bit but I dont see a doctor taking a 14 year old kid 190mph in a car.

I'm guessing you drove the car for about 3-4 sec [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img] well until you had to break since you ran out of gear.

i am 14 and i drive standard all the time around the yard, so that isn't too far fetched, and i have a few friends who said if i ever see them i can drive their terminators also, so maybe its true...except for the 190mph part.. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bs.gif[/img]

Yeah, i know the PSD's are fast, my friends father has one with the same programmer as your fathers, and it'll melt the tires in 3rd gear (its an automatic tranny on top of that!!) but with that programmer they only run high 14s, it just seems so fast because its a truck....so you might wanna change ur profile.

[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img] Whatever man.........i know what i know, it dont matter what you think
obviously, you have never been on the highway north of vegas, very empty
and great for top speed races.
And about my Powerstroke, it dont have a programer its got a bullydog power module
and the bullydog cold air intake and exhaust system. its also got a turbo upgrade so it runs more boost
than stock.
and it is fast enough to win every race we have been in


Quick Reply: Went For a ride in the new Z06
