Did it make a 'tink tink' noise when you got on it? from hitting the needle peg?

What tires?

I haven't gotten on it, in fact today, I backed it out of the shop, twice... Tires are the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar G:2's

The same tires that come on the ZL1...

Thanks all for your kind words...

I had a pleasant surprise when I arrived today...

Apparently when Heath came to Beeville last October, he saw the worlds fastest Camaro built and maintained by LME out of Houston, and how it had a stick to prop open the trunk.

So, in an effort to assist me with my endeavors to go fast... he Incorporated a business and I have the first and only go fast stick known to man...

This Go Fast Stick and the letter of Authenticity will proudly be displayed in my car for the duration of the weekend while in the Pit area...

The clothes and groceries are packed... the car is almost ready... couple of tidy up items, and then we are off to yonder slow roads and fast tracks...

I'll be updating this as we go through the weekend...
