For me it is when I start her, I hear her exhaust note and say man I did not make any mistake buying this car.

Re: Please give your definition of a "permagrin"
The enjoyment I get spending time with the people in the ZR-1 community, especially my WAZOO brothers. Without all of you, it would almost be just another corvette.

I went to the Carlisle meet, I think, in 2004 before the days of WAZOO. I stopped over at the Net Registry tent, sat for awhile, got bored and went home. It definately has a lot to do with meeting and making great friends who share your passion. If it hadn't been for David my Z would be just another beat up 94 - keeping up with the Johnson is what it's all about!

Re: Please give your definition of a "permagrin"
Definitely in 3rd gear around 6000 rpm. That's about the time you're used to having to shift because you're either on top of redline or you're way out of your powerband. Then this little grin comes across your face as you hear the wail of the LT5 and realize...I've got another 1000+ rpm to go and it's never gonna lay down...while the guy next to you looks like he's rowing a boat trying helplessly to keep up...
