For Xmas my wife got me the Xtreme Xperience at the NCM Motorsports Park on Saturday. Although I could have driven much more exotic and probably better cars, I chose to drive the C7 (not Z06). While I like many in this section of the forum, didn't like the C7 at first....it has really grown on me. So I figure why not. Now I've never been on a track or driven my cars to the max so I wasn't the fastest out there. Actually had to let a couple cars pass.... I know I'm a grandpa. But what a blast it was. Car is definitely fast and handles well. I saw one of the pros drive it and he was getting it around this technical road course. They will be in Atlanta in a few weeks and I recommend doing it. Fun fun fun.
Here is video of drive. Skip to 4:45 to see driving
To have some real fun and learn what your Corvette can do take a trip out to NV and visit Spring Mountain Motor Sports Resort. Take a 3 day introductory driving school for the Corvette. I've done several Level 1 and 2 and drove the C-7 last spring. Nice car!
A set of Michelin PS 2's lasts approx. 1,200 miles on the track! Less for the more advanced driving schools like Level 2 since speeds are higher and braking is harder on the tires.
I would love to return to the NCM and do some track time on the new track across the highway there.
Looks like tons of fun. After those 2 cars passed you that just gave you something to pace to and really get going faster.
I would love to do that!
You are correct. It helped me with my lines and pace. I highly recommend doing this and for the C7 the cost was reasonable. They had it marked down to $129 but that didn't include pics and video and lower deductible insurance. The exotics cost was quite a bit more.
