Compared to a Viper or 575, a Z06 is really peaky. Great car, though.

Get your dad to drive a modded Benz TT V12, and he'll never look back. My SL makes my Viper feel peaky

The mutual wave and the thumbs up at the end of the sprint say: "that was fun... that's why we like these kinds of cars" Sure, not everyone will be as dignified in defeat as was the SL driver in this story, but the reason this is so cool is that Treynor is such a dignified winner. You're absolutely right, big power and little curb weight make for much fun!
i completely agree! well said great kill story
