I had a lot of fun in my Z28. I purchased it form my best friend 30 days after my first wife and I separated. Took some loooong drives listening to music up and down the East coast of Michigan during my divorce period. Mine was white and I took the badges off so it looked like just a V6 Camaro. I even had hidden exhaust turndowns. I used to love beating up on the Mustangs down around Gratiot Avenue. not braggin(ok, I am but it was really one of those moments)but my brother and I were down around Mt. Clemens just cruising and enjoying the car scene. I noticed a car pull out form a side street and go sideways. It was dark so i couldn't tell what it was. We ended up next each other at a light and I saw it was a then new 98 Cobra. The light changed and we took off together but not getting into it. Then, at the top of first gear he hammers it, so do I and we were off. I walked away from him like he was not trying. He was winding it out to redline each gear. Once we get back to normal speed his PS window rolls down and he asks if it my car is a V6. I am honest and tell him it's a Z. He asks to go again at the next light. No problem. This time we stage on the cross street yellow and are off when the green comes on. Again, I smoke him up through 3rd gear and then we slow down. He then says to pull into a large parking lot up the street. i was a bit concerned as I didn't know him from Adam. We stop and he jumps out and starts crawling under my car and asking where the bottle is hidden. I didn't have and nitrous. The guys turned out to be pretty cool but was diappointed that his Cobra got beaten by a Z28. I ended up opening my hood, trunk, and showing him that i was not hinding anything. Nowm, if my brother had not been with me, he would have never believed me that I beat the Cobra.

No, I wouldn't trade my 911 for any year of the F-body. It may not be as quick but it has different driving experience that I just thoroughly enjoy.
