WOW, what a day! Great weather and a great FIRST Road Course experience!
I used to have respect for Corvette's, but not after today.....first session of the day was nothing but waiting for Vett's to wave me by. My car handled GREAT, but a little advice for those who plan on taking their 5.0 out on a rd course: Upgrade the Brakes & Rear Sway bar. Two main things I could have used today, then a set of race seats.
Even so ,the car out performed the majority of the vette's and every other mustang out there today. Can't wait to do it again!
On the straight away: 6th gear @ 5500 rpm I was around 130 mph
Here's a video & some pics...(Last one is a photoshop of three pics, all cars in the shot are my car)
I have some GoPro footage as well that I will get edited and post later.
