Saturday my lovely wife along with a group of friends attended a kick-ass Crawfish boil (damn those bugs are good!). Anyway, one of the guys there was driving a Z06. He noticed me pull up and asked me about the car. I was worried I was going to get pressured into a street race but it was VERY different. He inquired about the HP, etc. but he couldn't get his eyes of my girl's ass end (the car, not Jennifer). He seemed awestruck. He sheepishly asked for a ride; just around the parking lot. I said sure! We drove around the corner where there was a HUGE empty lot without speed bumps and the like. I reached down, turned off MSP and punched it. The guy was white as a ghost as we spun around, white smoke everywhere. I then drove to the far end and did my infamous (in my own mind) 0-whatever before you run out of road.
Even though the Z06 might have been faster 0-60, the guy was so impressed with the beautiful lines and instantaneous white smoke he said "Damn, that car is a f*king animal!". I don't know if you can disable traction control on a vette or if anyone is brave enough to do it but on the Maserati it's very intimidating (please try it in a big parking lot before going to the street).
Awesome!

control button as well. The Corvette with the LS1 or LS2 overhead valve engine does not feel as though it revs as quickly as the Maserati with the overhead cam engine. Even though the engine HP and torque is probably close (C5 vs Maserati), and the C6 Z06 has 500 HP the overhead valve motor for some reason does not feel as though it will rev as quickly.
