Default corvette lag

Has anyone ever driven there corvette real spirted and by the time you got home you were exhausted? On sunday me and jasmin were playing with our new corsa exhaust and we drove through underpasses and downshifted every chance we could. After the drive my daughter dropped on the couch and fell asleep. if only i could afford to drive the car at night i think i would sleep better.

Ever since I put my corsa on I purposly look for underpasses to downshift and let the sound echo of the walls.

So is the exhaust loud enough for the both of you haha?

Ha, I thought I was the only one who loved the sound of the Vette winding up while going through an underpass. It's even better with the top down!

'Corvette lag?' Try being a track junkie. I track my car about a couple weekends a month all year long and that is tiring. Driving sessions for a couple days is both physically and mentally demanding especially on top of everything else you do in order to be there. There's prep work days ahead of time getting the car ready, packing everything you might need at the track, loading the car on the trailer, getting-up at 0 Dark Thirty and a couple hour drive or more to the track (for an out-of-state event you leave the day before), hanging-out in the sun running sessions all day, spend the night(s) at a motel, run sessions the next day and then load-up the car and drive home. Then it's unpack all your stuff, wash and unload the car from the trailer and get ready to start the cycle all over again.

It takes a toll on you physically and mentally and adding insult to injury it takes a toll on your wallet as well. Not even considering the hard costs of your car, modifications, truck and trailer there are the 'soft' costs for fuel, track fees, food, lodging, repairs, maintenance and having to replace expensive racing slicks at a staggering rate (you can't be competitve on old tires), etc..

I do suffer from 'Corvette lag' but the time, effort, money and fatique are well worth it....it's a blast! Strangely, I just can't convince my wife how much fun she'd have coming with me.

Hell yea Richie have no idea why I waited to purchase this exhaust. Now my daughter can't wait until the weekends come. My Ferrari and Porsche buddies can't believe that my Corvette sounds like that. I took my friend James who also has a Ferrari and he was laughing and having a great time. The corsa exhaust note is clean and full bodied at all rpms. James said he has to hit a certain sweet spot on his Ferrari. Before the glorious sound comes out. Like jasmin said daddy it sounds like gods pet lion. But at high rpm it sounds like all gods angels screaming. Thanks again richie we wont be needing a Ferrari after all

It is killing me having my Kooks LTS, x-pipe & Corsa Sport axle-back collecting dust while they wait to go on the car, but I want the interior back together before I take it in to get that done. The stock exhaust on a base Vette SUCKS!

Great stuff. Not sure if you have ever heard NPP, or stock Z06 exhausts? I'd say the Corsa is pretty comparable to them in terms of sound volume on the outside (when the valves open up), but I def think you hear Corsa Sport on the inside in the cabin much more.
