    Z06 ragtop

    My buddy just picked up his new toy. Z06 ragtop 7-speed manual in the best color combo.

    I can't wait to go for a ride. It is absolutely gorgeous!

    I have to admit that the 6 spd in my '14 felt odd at first. I'm sure a 7-speed would also take some getting used to.

    The 6 Speed in my Cobra was weird to me, until I realized it was just another gear (and totally optional).

    Nice ride!

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    The performance of the auto cars is very impressive. There is less of performance difference than ever now. I guess it depends on what you like and it's intended purpose.
