Blew away 2 Z06's ! :)

On my way to and from daycare this morning I blew away not 1, but 2 new Corvette Z06's. From this I can surmise the following:

1) Our mini-van is faster than a Z06, especially when the Z06 driver doesn't know you are racing them.

2) Seeing 2 different Z06's in the span of 15 minutes means Chevy is flooding the market with them.

Good one! How about:

4) Z06's come in only 2 colors (Red and Yellow) because that is what I saw.

5) Z06's are driven only by men in their 50's. (again what I saw)

Hey, mini-vans are deceptively fast, don't be fooled.
Quick question, how do you know if it's a Z06 or a C06?

A few interesting Mini Van perspectives.........

A couple of years ago GrassRoots Motorsports took a stock Honda Odessy vs a Jag E type and a couple other "desireable" vintage sports cars, and whooped them on an autocross course - sad, true, and a statement to how far automotive technolgy has gone over the last 40 years.

To paraphrase a "vent" from the Atlanta paper I saw a while back: "I now know how my dog felt after I got him neutered - I just bought my first mini van".

And, can someone explain what exactly is a Dodge Caravan "Sport" compared to a regular Dodge Caravan? Oviously, I'm missing something......

Actually our mini-van is midnight blue metallic, goes well in contrast to speed yellow...

And was there an iPod connection or are these cars woefully under-equipped electronically like the Porsches?
