And that’s where you find us today, on board a tricked-out C6 Z06 for a properly fast lap of the Green Hell, passing the locals with ease, in a car built an Ocean away. It’s certainly an aural experience, as the driver pulls no punches when wringing out that 7.0-litre LS7 small block. What a car. One day, I will own one…
