I took my C7 to the track right after museum delivery. It was just a touring lap, since I wasn't going to hammer the car. We did follow the leader, and I was asked to hang right on the tail of the...

My son and I took a drive over to Henna to check out the C8's. The dark and light grey cars were still unmoved, but your red car wasn't around. Maybe they put it inside while they started the PDI?...

I picked up my C7 at the Museum. It had 24 miles on it, and I was told it had been QC'ed by the plant. I did a lap of the race track, and headed down the Natchez Trace Parkway for my break in miles....

You are right about the sand bagging. I am looking forward to watching the 24 hours of Daytona. Hopefully Team Corvette will have an onboard camera this year.

I sold my C7 Z51 after driving it for a couple of years. It was great the three times I took it to COTA, and I agree it's almost too much car for the street. It could have used a brake upgrade (2...

The C7 has an oil to water heat transfer system, which uses the radiator to cool both the oil and the water. This system allows faster warmup for the oil, but actually reduces the effectiveness of...

It looks like you are using a square set up (10.5" all around) with Conti slicks. Any issue with oversteer by using narrower than OEM width (12" down to 10.5")? It looks like you have Z07 carbon...

I ran these for track wheels on my Z51 with Yokohama scrubs. I wish they made them in a 18x12 to fit the rear of the Grand Sport. I'm watching GS prices like a hawk (and building up GM Points on my...

That makes me feel good about running a string of 2:36 flat laps in my Z51 at the same event. I could hit 150 MPH before Turn 12, but have to go to 200M. I sold that car, and I am watching GS Z07...

These are road racing slicks. I expect the sidewalls are too stiff for a good drag racing tire. You would not need all four wheels for drag racing, so you can buy two TSW 18x10.5 rear wheels and...
