The C6 and VIR

[joe1968]

I don't know if this is the right section to post this or not but I'll let Paul move it later... It was made official today at work. Myself and a couple of other Koons employees are being sent to Virginia International Raceway later this month to attend a class on the new C6. What it involves is a classroom overview of the new "beast" and then a road test on the track. I will let everyone know my opinion afterwards. I CAN'T WAIT !!!!!

Do you need a "pace" car? I'll take my '86 down to give you guys something to run against. [:))]

Yesterday was the day. And what a day it was!!! First I have to say if you have never been to VIR you have to go. It's like a park. When I first pulled in I was looking for picnic tables and smokey the bear to come out and greet me. GREAT place to visit I will make the drive to see a race there. It's worth it..

Chevrolet gave us the chance to compair the C6 to the 911,boxter and the Z4 BMW. All very nice cars that I'd love to own someday, but they would have to park next to the C6 that I got first!!!! The C6 is impressive on the road and the track. Great low end torque and high rpm horsepower. Everything form the exterior style (fixed headlights,touch pad door handles,ect...),the interior changes(gps nav. system,X-m radio,on-star,heated seats ect...) In my opinion the C6 hands down will beat the best from any other company out there.

Really the only thing that I can say to sum up the day at VIR and the C6 is you have to go see it,drive it, experience it!!! Its a rush...
