Nope, I was working at a day camp when I drove the IROC. I sold it to these guys that said they restore Camaros, but they're mechanics.

I have a question about the 08 though. Did you ever put anything in your cubby or did you just replace your radio?

@SparkleCityHop, I feel like watching that now lol.

I'm just asking because I want one of those dvd/gps/hands-free/hd/satellite radio touch screens but I see a lot of Z owners choose to put them in the radio spot and ignore the cubby.

There's a lot more mounting depth to work with in the radio spot than in the cubby.

Good choice on the red It has been scientifically proven that red adds 50hp over any other color.

When I talk about my car, I never say that she's fast. There are too many faster cars out here, but I will say that she's quick... and I always say that she's fun to drive.

Congrats. Have fun, and be careful.

I drove the car home today. My first thought on the highway, I can't hear the blinker from all the road noise, but I can't believe I'm driving the same car I was playing GT5 with yesterday. I love this car.





It's like a big red mirror.

Today I feel like I got the right seat position, but now I gotta get used to the clutch and shifter, though I did get a few heel to toe's in already. The thing I feel will take a while to get used to is the situational awareness, IMO I'm sitting too close to the mirrors to see behind me.

I've been driving the car for almost a week now. I got stuck in traffic for an hour yesterday, and I loved it. I had A/C, a nice sound system, and a V6 engine to amuse myself with. Also, I went to the bar the other night where some motorsport club members hang out, and they told me no one had as nice a car in their group. I'm thinking of joining. One thing I didn't understand though, I don't turn as many heads on the road as I thought I would...I guess New Yorkers are tired of red sports cars? That can't be it, I think my car is rare.

You'll turn heads if you fit it with some nice wheels and have bigger disks and brakes peeking through, well probably anyway. I wish I had got red instead of black but no regrets.
