the car was worth the wait
just rode in fireball's evo. WOW 
The ride is great, harder than most sports cars but not something that could not be used as a daily driver. Power is very strong, fireball is treating it soft but at 1/4 throttle it goes, the turbo was kicking in at about 3000rpm. But the best thing was by far the handling it was unreal. I rode in it for less than 10 miles but I was impressed. Screw the AYC / ACD this thing rocks cant wait till he breaks it in than we can have some real fun.. Hurry up fireball put those 600miles on so we can race!

I traded my Z06 in for the Evo. At first I was a bit sketchy, but damn was it worth it. And I still have to break it in. This car is nasty.

Drive a Z06. The ride in something like that is comperable to the Evo. It's really not nearly as harsh as people have made it out to be.

I rode in my friend's Z06 and it was quite comfortable for a sports car. Sounded mean as hell, too.

It's addicting like a drug... I purposely take side streets just so I can hear the turbo more.

z06 pulled a .98 and the evo a .97 at one and a .98 at another, then consider you also have awd 
, and a car bread to pitch and recover, and the quickest steering you can fathom on a street car, then realize why the evo has the fastest slalom course time in the u.s. right now, over the z06
