GM AutoShow In Motion is Back

Last time I gave a short swing in a Corvette, which was pretty fun, albeit, too short. Gave the GTO a shot and that pick-up truck a shot too...what's it called? SRS? Something like that...:

Hehe - almost.
After waiting an hour for a chance to drive one of their Z06's I tried to turn off traction control and the "co driver" wouldn' t let me and told me I had "been warned - another stunt and you will be ejected" - so I knew it was going to be a fun ride :)

He tried to force me to short shift to 2nd, so I held the car in 1st to 6500rpm - and on their short track that had me screaming towards the the turn and grabbing 2nd.

The guy then tried to pull it out of gear, so I hit his arm off the gear shift... and he tried to grab the hand-brake - so I hit his hand away again.. for a few seconds he was fighting me for the gear shift and/or parking brake.

Finally he grabbed the brake so I just whipped the wheel to opposite lock, floored the car - then stamped on the brake pedal with both feet - the ensuing doughnut/slide turn combo seemed to really piss him off. :twisted:

My final show of defiance was to bury my foot on the gas, bouncing the car off the rev limiter as we sat their in neutral as he tried to grab the keys.. :P

I then jumped out as the bouncers ran towards the car - and I yelled at the co-driver and his supervisor dude that I had no control of the car as he was just grabbing levers and knobs and the wheel... and after that kind of dangerous act I was not prepared to participate any longer and was going to leave. ;) :lol:

Good times... :P

Did I mention I hate GM?

(BTW - if you are ever offered a black on black 2003 Z06 GM ex-demo car for a good price.. pass on the deal.. I think the car may have engine damage.. ;) :P)
