Last weekend I and a few current and new friends met and spent some time driving through Wisconsin looking at the fall colors. There were cars from Indiana through North Dakota and from Minnesota to Iowa along with a couple of snowbirds from Texas.

I don't have a final count but guess there was between 220 and 250 cars in the run. The down side it was next to impossible to take pictures while driving and there weren't many chances to pull off to take any. I was quite impressive seeing that many cars on the road at one time.

I had a lot of fun and definitely will do it again if I can.

Hopefully it will let me attach pictures this way:

And the proceeds including raffle and auction go to those with Spina Bifida so not only a good time but a good cause.

One of the cruises I went on, there were a bunch of grey hairs in the new C6. One of the ladies checking out my 85 with peeling paint and the clamshell hood up, asking me about my "aftermarket" "formula car" exposed front suspension, she said "maybe some day you'll be able to get a nice one."

Or after a mountain run with all 230 stock ponies, the geezer with a new ride will ask, "wow, what have you got in that thing?"

Lol. Strange crowd.

IMO it's all about torque, hp is just numbers for bragging rights. You can have all the hp you want but if you don't have the right torque curve, it does you nothing. That's one of the main reasons I love the L98 in mine, it has all the torque in the right places and can both get out of it's own way and get me where I'm going :-)

As far as those gray haired ladies, should have told them their C6 wouldn't have seen the light of day without the innovations of the C4.

Nice turnout for that and pretty cars too!
Our club used to do that - the leader of the event passed away not too long ago and unfortunately no one stepped up to do it this year. We go through some pretty Arkansas Ozark country
