Met a Z06 for the first time with my K2
And there it was, red and purty driving 40... valley circle just before the 101. Having just cured my fishtailing with my over sized 295s by putting the 285s on, I was feeling like I'd slept at a Holiday Inn as they say. I punched it right next to him for a sec then slowed... I taunted.
That was all I needed... he was on my *** playing until the light came up. He was actually very cool, rolling down his window and began by saying his friend has one of "those" and they're really fast, referring to my lil' old E55. I said that's one bad *** Vette... to which he exclaimed "yeah its the new Z06!!!" with the enthusiasm of a child. Its EXACTLY how I feel about my sleeper K2, so I said "yeah, this thing isn't stock though!!!". Don't know why I really said it. Dunno... but it terms of racing against someone, this was by far the most amicable friendly exchange ever. He said "ohhhh" and the light went green.
We both spun some tire for a half sec (both of us too much, bad launches) and were flying in no time. Once going, though... I guess I shouldn't actually be surprised... I mean, I did send it to Kleemann just to put it where I had hoped it would be. But I took him out of the hole up to 70 by exactly a car length only to hit another red light. I moved into his lane in front of him. Boy I wanted a nice freeway onramp type race, but he went straight while I went on the freeway, each of us waving as we realized we just met for a quick sparring, and really didn't it have it out... another day, though. Definitely the kind of car guy I'd like to hang with though... you can tell he just loves cars, period.
I love my K2. Sniff.

haha... hell NO... mine was more than a wiggle... it was more like a whale tail. I tell you, I punched it at about 60 near Topanga on the 101 and I moved 3 feet to the left... then a good 6 feet back to the right.
My passengers faces were white with terror... amazing considering the year round tans they were sporting a minute earlier.

Especially if you only have an hour to make your decision, If you were serious and not just waggin your lips you wouldn't be asking the forum to make up your mind on such a big move.What are you expecting someone to reply in time before you sign the papers?
Go to the Dealer and sit there w/salesman and your lap top and wait for someone to tell you what to do, you've got to be kidding man..
If you're going to buy another car why do you need to ask the forum about it?
As they say shi*t or get off the pot guy

All true but I love my E55 it is my second one and I may get an other, but for now I am running out the door for my Z06 and I will just keep the E55 for now and sell my Excursion. Wife Escalade pulls the boat just fine.

I agree. I am like a kid in a candy shop around cars.
I GOT IT! Silver 06 Z06 had 5 miles on it. I paid 5K over great car I will be going to track Jan. 21 and 22 2006 All are welcome $500 for 2 days with instructors 2 to1 driver instructors.
Car now has 26 miles on it and I will wait at least 2 tanks of gas before the all out war with the car starts.
