Something to look for at the shows next year...Chevy’s 650-hp Corvette SS for 2008 intro

A fellow ZR1 owner sent me and another friend this and suggested we all chip in. He also volunteered to store it at his house, and said we could use it whenever we were in town.

Price tag will at least 100k

Looks like a monster. Here is another small blip I came across on it.

LOOKS LIKE CHEVY IS NOT GOING TO LET MOBENZ BACK INTO THE RING....BOUT FRIGGIN TIME...TIRED OF THOSE BRAGGART SNAKE PINHEADS CRAP-TALKIN...THIS SHOULD SHUT EM UP GOOD!!!!

AND ONLY 10K MORE THEN THEIR STUPID SNAKE I DO NOT EVEN FIT INTO AT 6'4"... I BETTER FIT IN A C-6... HAVE NOT TRIED YET...ANY OTHER TALL GUYS DRIVE A C-6 YET??? AS YOU CAN SEE IN MY PIC I BARELY FIT IN THE ZR-1

[RedSled]

I'm 6' 2" and I didn't even think about fit when I recently drove a C-6. I honestly liked the steering feel of my Z better! It was nice though.

Kool I will have to see someday I'll pop in the localdealer and sit in one and see!

When I sit in a C5 targa the roll bar (moved fwd for the trunk) at the corner where the radius occurs hit me in the back of the head.

The only C5 I could own would be a Vert!

And as we all know the vert's do not allow Z06 option!

ANY OTHER TALL GUYS DRIVE A C-6 YET??? AS YOU CAN SEE IN MY PIC I BARELY FIT IN THE ZR-1

Well I'm 6' 7" and I fit in one. Then again I really don't think of my size or comfort when I get into a great car. Heck my cross country trip in my ZR-1 was one of the most enjoyable rides I ever had. Granted I got out and stretched periodically, but it never crossed my mind about being uncomfortable since I was having so much fun. :thumbsup:

Dog Gone ZF I would have not thought you were so tall!!!

Now I just have to see a pic of you behind the wheel of your ZR-1---Humor me ---you have been promising a pic or two anyway!!!

Really you fit into a FRC C6 with out hitting your head on the top??

I don't remember promising any pictures, but nice try.:wink:
Actually over the years I have posted different shots of my ZR-1 depending on the thread. My latest picture is of my center console if you have any interest. :mrgreen:

As to a picture of me driving I honestly don't think I ever had anyone take a picture of me behind the wheel. I obviously do not sit totally upright in any of the vettes I've driven. To me the C-6 is easy enough to adjust and drive without being cramped. Then again I drive a 300ZX so a vette can seem downright roomy.

:cheers:

[WB9MCW]

Nice Try is right---yep u only said you might post a pic or two of da ZR-1---I just thought well maybe If I put it this way we will get both him and the vette---

I saw the center console shot I think-- but send me the link anyway

---someday we will just have to visit then or hire a spy photog to snap one of you!!!

[GrayZ]

well...i'm only 4'11 and i think it's time, that GM
installed custom pedals extension's.
you guys don't know what a pain it is to jump .UP. into a vette.
There i am, sitting at a stop light, my feet dangling,
it's sorta embarrassing. :???:

I'm 6'5" and IMO the cockpit of the c4 is pretty glovelike...a little tight, but not overly so.....my biggest issue is my size 13's fitting down below, and those pedals being pretty close together.:cheers:

[Peaven]

Well I'm 6'7" and I fit in one.

Who new that the Forum Big Guy really is a big guy?!:thumbsup:

Well maybe if I keep all the ZF individual pic's we will be able to piecemeal your ZR-1 together someday.

Yeppers you guys in Missouri sure are short--- no wonder the JAYHAWKS pick on ya so much.

Seems when I was in LOTO last at the Shooters 21 Shootout there were a lot of tall folks there---must have been the out-of-state crowd!

Make sure to photo shop a hot CB into the photo such as FATINA :mrgreen:

There are some advantages to not being tall such as not hitting your head on ceiling fans when you jump up from a sitting position. :wink:

Figures the King of the Vette Babes would think CB meant Citizens Band rather than Corvette Babes. I thought the Fatina request would be enough of a clue. :mrgreen:

[WB9MCW]

You do know what WB9MCW is don't you? Naturally, I would think CB is for radio---LOLOLOL besides it is "vette babes" V B 4 2DAY right???

You really need to get your CB's and VB's ducks in a row there Mr. ZF!!!
