It's fun having two shiny cars in the driveway. And I thought that my HHR sat low. My father-in-law drove in from AZ today in his Z06. :thumb: He let me drive...:steering: I would get into so much trouble, it's WAY fast. :bow: Makes you realize a turbo is just not gunna do it for the HHR.

Let's just say I tested the traction control through four gears. :eek: Didn't want to press my luck.

My brother-in-law has a Z06... man, it's got torque out of its wazoo! I was cruising around 55 in 5th gear, and without downshifting, I stumped on the gas and it pulled and pulled and plled until I got scared! :eek: Now, I'm looking around a '03 or '04 as my mid-life crisis car (at last that's what I'll try to sell the wife ;) ) but I'll probably end up in a Honda S2000 because it is more affordable.

I agree, VERY easy to get a Z06 sideways. TONS of torque. :cool: made the drive in the HHR seem slow this morning.

Any rim that is a 5 spoke style will make a star. Does that mean my high polished 17s is a "Texas rim"?
