Is your Z manual or auto? I can't remember who has what.

So, for $1695 for a single day event, you get 4x 20 minute sessions with 2X 30 minute classroom sessions. Morning sessions have a PACE CAR.

Or, for Track Daze, for $380ish, you get 8x 25 minute sessions, 2X 1 hour classroom sessions, and no pace cars. Both programs give one-on-one instructor feedback.

It's the Lamborghini thing, but you might get a chance to learn something I guess...price is obnoxious, though.

I think it's more about getting to drive an Ariel Atom than actually learning. I just thought it was something cool, i haven't really looked into it at all.

OK, just making sure. But, I seem to remember you saying something very similar about a Lamborghini, too lol.

You'll still get far more out of that class, than the Lamborghini event, for sure. That was just a shit-show, it seems.

Lol I'm over the GT-R. I wanted to get something crazy, but I will have to be responsible and get a nice house first. Figured better house and more modest car would be the best option.

Budget for my next car will depend on how expensive the house is going to be, but I'd say it's probably around the $30-40k range. I'll be looking at the new mustang, camaro, Z, and maybe a used C6/C7. I'd have to wait probably another year for the C7 price to come down. I've also thought about buying a beater DD and just making the other car a track toy, but I don't think I will be going to the track enough to make it worth all that effort/money. I'd rather have one all around DD/performance car that I take to the track maybe 2-3 times a year.

Yeah I'd have to make sure about all that before doing anything else. I was thinking something like this or maybe like the Skip Barber Racing School would make a nice little vacation some day in the future. I also want to rent an exotic someday so I can have more fun with it.

Just because you believe something in your fantasy world doesn't make it true in the real world
