Hey, rice is only true rice when it's all the 'look' parts and none of the 'go' parts.

I don't think many people would be thinking THAT particular would be describable as 'pokey' :)

...but not everyone would believe me - so I drove 1500 miles to go see/film/touch/hear the car - and 300 miles to get back to a PC to post the proof... ;)

Now for the 1200 mile trip home... :P

Why is there so much space in between the tire and the fender itself on the top pictres? Was he running with smaller wheels?

So the 1 lap has started already, great, now this is where you find the best drivers, not the Gumball Rally, Cannonball Run, or the Players Run, those guys are all morons and cannot drive, but they are still fun to watch. I have known a few people that have entered in this contest and I think that someday when I have enough money that I would like to do so as well.

...except RPO Z06's do not run electronic adjustable suspension like the F45 and Z51 packages - we have only one setting, race car... ;)

The car is simply sitting at a pre-lowered ride height is all.. :P

Sweet ride indeed. I couldn't help noticing that the plates are from Ontario. Was this in Canada?
