I didn't "run the Z" anywhere.

Only got on it on entrance ramps and the open roads in rural Illinois.

My wife is encouraging me to do a track day at Sebring but since I used to race there in a purpose built car on race tires I am a little reluctant to want to run a 505 hp car there on street tires.

Sounds like a great trip. I think the Jack Daniels could boost the gas octane a few points.

Awesome write-up....thanx for sharing your trip w/ us.

I have a '09 C6 coupe on order that I intend to use for road trips such as you just completed. I am very tempted to opt for the Callaway package but have a little concern about reliability on long trips...any thoughts??

Callaway's won't have any more of an issue with reliability than a stock C6. They build a very good car and are backed by the GM warrantee. I wish they still offered a twin turbo option like in the late eighties though.
