Re: 2008 Z06 Burnout
-------I dunno, whos the maroon??? Cooksey did it as a promotion and got a bunch of good PR off of this stunt. Everybody there seemed to think it was cool. As well, the car was a mule, I believe, and therefore would get crushed anyway..........Bill S

Re: 2008 Z06 Burnout
Any time a performance car disintegrates during a demo, it is probably not a good thing.

Re: 2008 Z06 Burnout
...tax write-off...R&D or Advertising...I think it was a good promo to get people's blood pumping by the "Heartbeat of America"...

Re: 2008 Z06 Burnout
I watch "Top Gear" every Monday night on BBC America, and that is the only time he was impressed with any Corvette. He also took the Z06 from a dead stop to top speed in 5th gear, with no shifting.
 Very impressive test drive on a long runway. However, he also said that the Z06 was not practically suited for every day driving, just too much car for the effort required.  In other words, just get the regular 'vette unless you plan on going racing.
