yeah, too bad they use transverse leaf springs that are significantly lighter than a coil spring setup and perform far better in the c5/c6 applications than would a coiltype spring suspension. too bad my z06 has truck springs and can only pull 1.00g laterally. too bad.....

there's some roads like that in the backwoods of San Diego(like up to Julian via 78 or the back route) however they're not as wide and a bit slower in most areas.

Very cool vid. Gotta love the Vettes. My #1 favorite American vehicle.

I'm pretty sure that's northern Arizona, somewhere between Phoenix and Flagstaff. Looks to be the road to Cottonwood or Globe.

Cool video. I am glad the C6 is out now, so maybe the C5 will go down in price. I would sure like one.

Cool but really long video. Looks like a fun road to play on, smooth and curvy. I wish we had roads like that were I live. I like the scenary too (mountains, trees, etc.)
