Last spring my brother and I were going to take a little drive in our Corvettes (92; 76) from Utah across Nevada and then up the Ca coast on Hwy 1. At the last minute he had a problem with his, so just for the heck of it, we opted for the new to me 05V. Our first stop was in Ely, Nv on Saturday - we just happened to catch the first day of the Nevada Silver State Classic (a race on closed Nv highways.) WOW, there were about 30-35 of the worlds great exotic sports cars. Z06's were the "cheapies," there were Ferraris, Porsches, Audis, GT350s, and more. We watched some of them launch for flying mile contests.
That really got our blood warm for a sprint across the middle of scenic Nevada. We got the V running pretty good a few times. and would have done more had we known the road better. We overnighted at Momo Lake, Ca, and then began the twisties through the Sierras. We really began enjoying how that 2 ton tessie can handle the corners. We made it through the Sierras and on to Cambria, where we spent another night. The next day was all Hwy 1 - and for those of you who have driven Hwy 1, there are more than a few corners. We had a blast. We stopped Hwy 1 when it ended near the Oregon border. The only bad thing about the V in the corners is if you are the passenger. We logged about 3000 miles in 6 days. That is a road trip!
