I've search the Z06 forum for videos, but I'm thinking youguys probably have tons more stashed away.

Anyone have any good Z06 videos?

that guys site says it costs him $360 for 500 gigs of transfer? Something doesn't sound right there - I pay $10/month for 500 gigs of transfer

 

Maybe you should send him your info..........help a brother out.

 

For your viewing pleasure, a few I had, hope you enjoy.

Ill shoot him an email, i guess i just figured everyone knew how cheap bandwidth is now.

 

Well it looks like he has been posting these videos for quiet awhile and maybe his initial cost was what he said but it never hurts to pass along a savings to a fellow member

 

Datawiz was at Spring Mountain Level 1 (3 days) and Level 2 (for 2 days for free lapping) and is in the process of preparing multi-cam subtitled videos of his experiences and those of others driving the fleet there.

Spring Mountain also has its own promo videos www.springmountainmotorsports.com

There are some posts now. Do a search on Datawiz or Spring Mountain..there is one where he just about loses it on turn 10.

This is a past of an e-mail that I sent to friends who were asking "What did you do at Spring Mountain?"

If you are interested in further looking at what people have posted, you can register on the Forum for free and do a seach for "Spring Mountain" or for recent videos search for "Datawiz" who filmed his participation in the Level 2 program and is now filming his buddies who have been taking the three day course which started on Monday, March 13. He apparently has an 8MB buffer in his computer so and knows how to put picture in picture, subtitles, sound, etc. so it will be interesting to see what he ends up with.


Learning heel-toe shifting is a big asset in keeping the car stable and not shocking the drivetrain. Perfecting this is a long term process. If you are interested in heel and toe shifting:

- How the Z06 responds to being pushed beyond what one would ever think of trying on the street quickly becomes apparent at Spring Mountain. Using the street like the track will never happen for me as, after experiencing that level of performance of the car on the track, attempting to acheive that on the street is just too dangerous and potentially costly. People, other vehicles and immoveable objects to hit...no run offs on the street to save my bacon in case I do not make that corner.

- The instructors mentioned that the wall which starts at the end of Turn 10 as the straight away along the pits starts could be dangerous if the corner at the start of the wall was not properly negotiated. They said dropping a wheel (off the rumble strip) had resulted in one of the employees of the School going nose first into the wall. The video of the employees sudden deceleration at the wall is on http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/corv...5/limit/recent

- In case you have not seen the following videos and want to see and hear some interesting high performance videos and some idiots that were not taken at the School, I hope I am not violating the rules of the Forum by posting this but there are Z06's on www.break.com; videos.streetfire.net;digitalcorvette.co m
Prior to this edit I had posted the links which I subsequently edited out remembered are a no-no on the Forum:

17 year old Highland Park, Texas (the Tuxedo of Dallas) were racing and crashed their daddies' Enzo and Lambo. Saw that the Enzo sold in this condition for over $400,000.00 on a ready-to-repair site.

BMW745i nut behing the wheel drifting into oncoming traffic on a public highwas. This guy should have an immobilizer put in his brain so that no car will start if he is going to be the driver.

Two idiot drivers racing on busy highway in Europe come close to crashing many times. alot of people could have been killed.

I say if you want to race go to a race track.

 

I have multiple hosts because bandwidth is always a problem because of the high media content of my site. I have my normal host for SpdKilz.com which is by IPowerWeb.com which has recently upped bandwidth to 250 gigabytes a month. This plan is around $100 dollars a year so it's a great deal with a good company who I have been with for years.

I signed up, via the recommendation of my friend who runs/owns RacingFlix.com, for this hosting plan almost a year ago - http://www.interland.com/shared/adva...platform=linux
It is about $350 a year for 500 gigabytes of bandwidth transfer each month.

Recently a friend showed me another site that seems legitimate for a decent price. I have since signed up for it and added another 1,000 gigabytes of bandwidth each month. I am still in the testing phase to make sure they do not try to pull any fast ones. I will cancel the $350 a year plan as soon as it is over.

I regularly go through 750+ of bandwidth each month, essentially maxing out the two plans I had previously. With the third plan I am able to keep the videos up all month rather than having to take them down when my bandwidth limit gets low (another thing is you don't want to go over your bandwidth limit or you can be nailed with huge fines which is what happened last summer - I can go through 20-30 gigabytes a day on a high traffic day, and one day last summer I went 14 gigabytes over...at $6 dollar a gigabyte...you do the math).

I just recieved your e-mail and will look into that site for future hosting plans. I hope in the future I can cut my costs in half now that bandwidth is getting cheaper (I remember the good old days about six years ago when I signed up using geocities and had a whopping 10 gigabytes of data transfer each month, haha).
