More than likely - less than that
Industry wide, less than 5% make ANY changes to the car at all.
So you are talking about 5% that have modifications of any kind.
Most tracks of events have certain requirements safety requirements (modifications)
So if 5% make changes, like add an exhaust, mats, interior upgrades, the number
that are modified for track use has to be a very small number...
I'm betting its more like 2 or 3 per 1000

I didn't buy it to track it , nor do I really care about racing in general.
Ok, I care a little bit more about racing than football. but not a whole lot.

Chevrolet sold 32,278 C7 for 2017 production year. I am pretty sure 5% or less see the track. I have gone to 5 HPDE events this year. On the average, I see about 3 to 4 C7 between Summit Point and Dominion Raceways. Majority of the race ready cars that I have seen are Miata or 3 series BMW and some C6.

I’ve been known to play around tracks.

^^^ That's great looking car either on the track or street. Those wheels really set it off.

I searched the forum but was unable to find a thread on this. If there is one, please share the link.
There's lots of forum discussion on the "track worthiness" of the Z51, Grand Sport, Z06 and now the ZR1.
My question is: What percentage of C7 owners actually track their cars, by model. My un-informed guess is:
1) Stingray - 5%
2) Z51 - 10%
3) GrandSport - 15%
4) Z06 - 20%
5) ZR1 - 25%
Anyone know how to turn this question into a poll?
