First track day report
Update... Another GREAT day and the car was simply stellar. I was much faster today than yesterday (ask the two 911 Turbos and the 911S in my run group what they thought as I passed them each lapping session ). The car is so planted and predictable it is a joy to drive at the limit and the... -
First track day report
No need to apologize at all!! I didn't take your comment in any way negative so no worries. It isn't a fast track by any stretch of the imagination but, as you say, it is a very technical and very fun track nonetheless. :D -
First track day report
I'm 45 min from the track. Close enough for it to be a far too expensive hobby :D On the back straight I was consistently in the 180km/hr range. That's as fast (faster really) than I have ever been out there. In my dedicated track car I was consistently hitting 175 and it was prepped for... -
First track day report

sold out?
I believe the numbers were for the quarter only... regardless, I'm not defending GM, I'm just suggesting they are still very profitable from operations. It isn't about blaming recalls IMO but rather filtering out the one time or non-recurring items and looking at the actual profitability of the... -
sold out?
I don't think they were caught off guard. I think they just sold everything they could produce and allocated the lions share by far to large markets in the US. The C7 has been a huge success for them so far and they can only sell as many as they can produce :D If you exclude the one time... -

At how manykm's are you guys doing your first oil change?
I'll change it before my first track day in May.... likely around 2,500km. -
First Look
If you want to fly to Halifax, I'll pick you up at the airport in mine :)
