So, I finally got to drive a C6 Z06 at the local autox.

Spun that thing like a top the first run about halfway through as I got overconfident. Second run was a bit less on/off with the throttle and managed to make it around with a decent time. Starts feeling like a smaller, lighter car as it gets going.

I think I could get to like one of them.

Yes, life after a Miata is a 2008 Z06.

It's the cost of tires that could end the marriage, and the second set of rims, and.....

I'll make it work somehow.

I remember saying that about my ex. Filed for divorce about 3 months later.

Your ex's wheel and tire requirements must have been really exacting.

I haven't even driven one but I'm considering it for my daily driver. What an amazing car for the price... Winter will get interesting, but I think I can get some narrower 18s to put a performance snow tire on. S2000 does fine with snows and it's pretty low. I'll have some good stories at least if this doesn't work out!

Yeah, I did that once. It was a hoot. First run I launched, shifted to 2nd, and then started looking for the first turn like I had done in my Miata. Turns out I was already past it. Later on the rear got a little loose so by reflex I stomped on the gas. This, ah, just makes you go more sideways and aim at corner workers.

The guy was crazy enough to let me drive it again and with some readjustment it was really quick. And I want one. But boy that first run was a doozy.

I haven't been able to drive one yet, but I lust after them.

I drove an S2000 at the DC Pro Solo this past weekend and there were at least two dozen Vettes there making glorious noises on the launch. I'm pretty sure come fall I'll have one in my garage.

Probably do A-Street as I loathe changing tires, though SSR looks like a truckload of fun.
