I need an upgrade now

After driving the 918 Spyder, on my long drive home I realized how slow the Vette was.  Kinda sad LOL.  I guess I'll need to upgrade.  Maybe Santa will deliver a new Z06 Stingray Convertible.

Happy Holidays!

I really want to try a Z06 Stingray with the new 8-speed automatic transmission. I think that car would be awesome.

I would be honored to drive a hyper car ..
