You can probably go test a Z06, but unless you are going to take delivery, I bet you would have a hard time getting a ZR1.

I do see your point though Phil, and thanks for the invitation. Comparatively, I can see how you would be disinclined to work with someone who would not let you try the product.

I was actually more interested in driving the X6 out in front of the Katy dealership, but only because it is so odd. The proportions intrigue me. You can see it from the highway quite plainly.
Or they may know it doesn't drive like an M5 so perhaps if they can't drive it they can't see how bad it is.

I mean heck they should use that mentality for Saab because heaven knowns nobody in their right (sober) mind would buy that thing after driving it
