Just a quick pic from the track today:



Obviously I'm partial to red

The C4 ran like the 600 HP screaming Banshee it is all day passing everything except the VP fuels truck in the pits

Saw an '06 Z06 - The guy who owned it ran in my group but he was still taking it easy on the car so no comparisons

Quite the contrast...all that red by the white tents. Sounds like you had a great day.

Cool pic. Also interesting to see how much darker Victory red is vs a "true" Corvette red (I assume the C4 is Torch red?). Now if you could have found a TR C5 to put in between it would have been the whole family!

Yes, the C4 is Torch Red. If only I had the foresight to paint it Victory Red back then
