Main thing though - it needs projectors. Reflector headlamps on a $70k car are unacceptable. I get that they even gutted the speakers to cut weight, but projectors themselves won't make much of a difference. Even halogens. It just looks like ass, and is my main gripe with the styling.

But damn has it grown on me. I've always been on/off with the 5G Camaro, but the Z/28 is just such a beast.

that reported 7:37 Nurburgring lap time is even faster than the C6 Z06 ran IIRC. At least when it first came out, before the Z07 package and all

I have to say though, I still am not fan of the "bulky" look of the car. It just looks so boxy and thick. I know it's a solid performer and it even has a 6MT (which I love) - but I'd rather have a used GTR, or any number of other vehicles.

* Death Wish: Five People Change Tires While It's Driving On It's Side *

Because the hiring process at Jiffy Lube is fiercely competitive in Saudi Arabia, this is a video of five guys removing and replacing two wheels of an SUV while its being driven balanced on the other two. Not how I spent my weekend, but I was also too busy to sit around inventing new ways to die or get paralyzed

So drifting is a stupid amount of fun. Too bad I bumped the lens hood getting in the car. Talk about adrenaline!
