It's when I hit WOT and only have partial hearing for a few minutes afterwards. hahahahahaha

Might have been when I was on the highway, my brother beside me in his Mustang GT (no contest), I'm in third at highway speed and keep poping the throttle. My wife finally looked at me and asked "when is he getting off". I really need to teach her to drive it. The experience is so different behind the wheel as opposed to the passengers seat.

Permagrin happens the second I decide to pick up "Girlfriends" keys.
Heck, even just looking at her under the cover in the garage can give me a charge that can last all day.
Just knowing that she's there and ready to go at any given moment is enough for me.

Consider me a ZR1 Junkie.

It's having one of those so called "ultimate driving POSs" drive up
on me and then I start creeping up the speed until ..... he starts to fall behind farther and farther.
And then doing it again just to punctuate the "inferior driving machine".

My definition is when I havent been in the car for a few weeks,go for a drive,tires still cold.I leave a stop light get on it abit and the rear breaks loose,hooked a little sideways,straighten out and on down the road.Its more like an uncontrollable laugh.

It begins when I turn the key and listen to the fuel pumps charge the fuel rails and go quiet: "READY!" she seems to be saying!

Then the starter whirrrrrs and she catches and immediately zooms to 2000 rpm before settling down to a smooth idle. bout then the heart jumps and the blood quickens the pace. She's hungry...Now for some fresh MEAT! Every now and then a sanctimonious ricer or LSx driver comes along and it is delicious when the smirk on his face melts away and somehow finds it's way onto mine!

Not my vid, but pretty well tells the story that has been played out soooo many times. (I love it when the C5 guy lets go a "HA!" when the LS initially jumps ahead...followed by a suprised (unexpected) "huh?" as the Z's tail lights cruise past the windshield. When the reality of the Z sinks in, the comment "You're not catchin' him!" is just delicious!! Now thats PERMAGRIN!!)

And, there were a LOT of suprised LS drivers, and a lot of "FBI" permagrinin' going on after this bunch of ZR-1 pilots took home the overall trophy at an all Corvette Shootout. LOTS of "PERMAGRIN"!!

AND, the Brotherhood of the Beast too is a large part of my permagrin. Owning a ZR-1 would be a daunting experience were it not for the community's expertise and support!

Merry Christmas y'all!!
