Hey, Ravirn. Welcome to Shno's House.

[Mindz]

I'm back now.


Driving the V6 was a great experience. The only problem I can see is backing up, you're blind as a bat. The car was quiet, comfortable and powerful based on the route I took. It's pouring here and people in the bay are can't drive even when it's sunny, so I wasn't able to really open up.

Driving it with someone who's been reviewing cars for 30+ years (it was his test model), he gave me his review/opinion and let me know the pros/cons of what I wanted to do to my car. After knowning some of this information, it truly put my wants into perspective.

I need to do some rethinking and make sure what I want is truly what I want now.

Overall reaction: I love the car and will own one sometime soon. Only weak point is backing up visibility. The sensors help but it would take a day or two of getting used to.

Mindz.......I agree with the backing up. On FIRST drive it feels like you are blind. But after just a bit, you can back it up with the best of them. Although I do admit to having a fear of parallel parking for a little while, but I have that anyway. Not cuz I can't do it, just this fear that I'm holding people up.

I guess the consolation is that the awesome Camaro styling is what resulted in the big C-pillar.

But glad you enjoyed the ride.

I'd be interested in what you are rethinking and why.

you have a pm

Apparently Mark Reuss (new man in charge of N America Operations for GM) alluded to the Z-28 today in a live webchat. I particularly liked his comments about future "lighter and more efficient" RWD cars.

[boxmonkeyracing]

Hi Heather, glad to you could join us here at Shon's. Just a simple thread around a non-existant car. A thread so full of hope it can hardly be contained. The enthusiasm is seemingly endless. Yet beneath it all Shno suffers mightily under the simple weight of wanting................wanting even a nugget of knowledge or information or even remote wild speculation.

Of course since he moved to Bahrain, we never hear from him.

Hey Number 3. Still heading down on the 24th?

[HeatherR]

hello...thanks for the warm welcome! Hoping is a good thing...especially for something as great as a Z!

I am of little use now....I am at an SUV plant....no Zs here!!!!

How are you #3? Miss the Camaro roadtrips we had last year? Amazing the difference a year will make...

Hope the namesake is in a good place in Bahrain....we'll hold the fort down while he is gone
