HHR and Z06

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. He let me drive... I would get into so much trouble, it's WAY fast. Makes you realize a turbo is just not gunna do it for the HHR.

Wow...cool car and way fast too. I'll stick with my HHR and keep my preferred insurance rates. Bet it was fun to drive though.

Let's just say I tested the traction control through four gears. 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! 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. made the drive in the HHR seem slow this morning.
