The picture does not do the Z06 Justice, see this thing on the road and you will be excited……

I stopped by a cookout in sunny Farmington Hills, Mi. last weekend. This cookout was no ordinary cookout; it was filled with young (and young at heart) automotive designers from various OEM’s, mixing it up a bit. Side note to all the men at the party, you all suck at flip cup, loose 3 in a row to the women? Come on guys……. you are suposto be manley men….

So let me start the story. A few years ago there were 2 young design graduates that bought used Vipers right out of design school (good for them sweet car). It seemed for a little while there, the Viper had become the “it” car to have. Shortly after said 2 designers bought their Vipers, more and more designers started to pick up Vipers, and the running joke was, “when are you going to get your Viper.” Fast forward about 2 years, and the new designer trend is now going towards the Corvette Z06. Now only 2 designers have bought Z06′es, but I smell a new trend about to blow up. A wise rapper once said “you talk like who you slang with and piece like who you paint with.” If this quote is any indication of things to come, I can almost bet the next Designer Cookout I attend; there will be a new Z06.

So if there is anyone out there who is thinking of posing like a designer, be warned a Viper will no longer do it, you will be caught. Get yourself a new Z06, and you got yourselves instant designer street cred.

My own personal observation……. The new Z06 is HOT!!!!!! I am by no means a Corvette guy, but the new car is one of the most beautiful cars on the road. It screams beat the piss out of me. With wider front and rear fenders, more vents and scoops; this car looks like it came to drop the hammer…….
