Default I drove an 06 ZO6 today..

I asked the sales manager at the Chevy dealership next door to mine if I can take it for a test drive and he cheerfully threw me the keys and said fill-er-up!

I didn't even get to rev it to redline without putting the car sideways. The interior of the car and the seats weren't what I wouldn't expect from a Chevy. The clutch pedal was extremely light, the car is actually very easy to drive on a smooth road. Like Jeremy on Top Gear said, this car isn't ment to be driven daily, the suspension is very stiff and the front bumper is very low, I managed to scrape going into a gas station. Initial thrust from a 4th gear pull is amazing. I can't really think of anything else to sum up the drive other than having an ear-to-ear smile when I got out of the car.
