> [@JaysGreenLX](#): > > I have to watch the vid again. I’m pretty sure that speedo went way higher than a typical mph one. It doesnt matter, you can switch from mph to kph by the push of a button in vettes. That ZO6’s speedo was crazy high like you said, but that doesnt mean it will hit those speeds. ---

Hey Ken, Why’s a Ford/Cobra guy posting ZO6 vids? Oh, I see, You like the quote “it’s like herpes, fun to catch, but you don’t want to live with it every day” :D. New poll: Would you take a new Z06 if you had to take herpes with it? Freekin’ dumb Brit, no wonder why my ancestors left that country. ---

haha, I still like the cobra more :P, but I have love for anything, import/domestic. It don’t really matter to me, if I like it, I’m gonna drool over it :D. Haha, I did like that quote though, it was pretty funny, but I’d take a z06 in a heartbeat if I could. > [@ugososlow](#): > > Hey Ken, Why’s a Ford/Cobra guy posting ZO6 vids?

I put a partition between the cockpit and the trunk to cut down on noise.
