Driver mod

At about 100 miles on the clock now, and thought what would a brief reach to 4500 rpms be like... it made me wish I had the full 6500 on tap! 500 miles cannot come soon enough.

That's when I can work on my first mod- me!!!

At least you're honest, very respectable. Most come out of the gate thinking they're the Stig. Just went over 1,500 miles on mine, grinning ear to ear. I know how you feel, I hated the first 500. Luckily spring is here, the miles will roll quickly

Congrats, and I agree. The driver is the best mod 99.9% of the time.

And usually the most overlooked one.

You have much wisdom, 06nine. There are very few C7 owners that can out drive their Corvette. I certainly can't. Always need more seat time.

The limits are ridiculous on these cars. Corners that I use to take with previous sports cars around 45-50mph? The Corvette laughs at those roads. I won't say how fast I have taken them here but let's just say the car still has more to give but I don't without needing to change my pants...

C7 of Year Finalist (track prepared) 2019

I just started track driving in 2017. I have been 10 times this year. The way I can best explain it is this... remember when you got your first smart phone and had to learn to use it? It's just like that. You had an amazing tool but no idea how to use it.

Maybe when my kids are grown and out of the house I can track more.
