It was a quick ride (figuratively and literally) in a brand new, just off the transporter, 2016 Corvette Z06 in Laguna Blue tintcoat (pictured). My coworker is a Corvette owner himself and did a lot of drag racing in the 80’s and 90’s so he got to pilot this monster while I rode shotgun. And holy fucking shit was it fast. I have never felt acceleration like that before and the noise! It was a complete assault of the senses. It has totally reset my sense of speed.
I can’t wait for the depreciation and I love my job.

So, it didn’t overheat? Lucky!

If it was just off the truck, sounds like they weren’t exactly following the break-in procedures. Overheating might be in this car’s future. ;)

I drove a ZR1 last year, and it did the same thing: completely and utterly obliterated my senses of power and speed. It was the fastest thing I’ve ever experienced. Cars that used to feel fast just feel quick now.
The only downside is it left me wanting. Wanting to experience it again. Wanting to drive it one more time. I NEED MY FIX!

I get to stare at it all day...which is yet to be determined as either good or bad.
