That will automatically bring you to the apex....maybe without the white knuckles! Just bustin chops since you started....
Always look through the corner!

ALWAYS wave, unfortunately some C5/C6 Z06 owners have their noses to far in the clouds to wave back!

I wave at every Vette I see. Sometimes, by force of habit, I even wave when I'm in my Toyota. The funny thing is, most of the time, they still wave back!!! Congrats on you're C4 and welcome to the club. You're hooked now!
