OP already bought a car before I finished reading entire thread.

I gave out so much rep in this thread I got this message:

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.


ImportConvert once said: Then I went to Spring Mountain Motorsports ranch where a few instructors in stock Camaro SS's made fools of us in ZR1's when we couldn't keep up with them. I learned a painful (to my ego) lesson.

I did a similar class at Infinion, Sears Point, where the instuctors had bone stock EVO X's, and I had my 370. I stuck like glue to them with no humiliation for me and the Z.
And yet you feel that you can talk intelligently about the steering and all else. The Z offers more than an inexperienced driver like yourself can appreciate.

Take some more classes, learn to drive where your Corvette can keep up with a Camaro, then criticize the Z's steering.


You said the instructors made a fool out of you and I think "You" make a fool of yourself most of the time. The instructors just pointed it out.

Not quite. I was at Jim Russell School of racing where we learned the limits of our own cars. I believe the same or similar as to Import. As far as pre HPDE I want to go on and get an SCCA license. Time, not money is my problem.
