Default Track section

Just a suggestion. Start a track section so the over heating posts won't make the 90 percent of us that don't track the car nor over heat deal with the threads about heating issue's.
But we still could read them if we wanted!

Wow suppressing info and facts now. What a great idea.

Everything should stay exactly where it is. Info about the high end track variant of the Corvette should not be hidden by mega merges or moved to "Other Cars' whenever there is a problem. People need to know what really happens to the Zo6 when driven as they where advertised to, not just when driven to a cars and coffee, or cruising down Main Street to get groceries.

How about a waxer section instead. Where everyone can pat themselves on the back and ignore all that annoying real world data from track days and focus on Zaino and lawn chairs for the next car show.

I'm sorry, but did you read his post? He started a thread for positive track day experiences. You basically made a useless post...

What? Just point out whoever is MAKING you read overheating posts. Maybe we could start a non track forum for you guys who buy a track car and only wax it while bragging about how much horse power it has. The Z, IS, and WAS (supposedly) built as a high performance, trackable car. Who marries a talented **** star, and only reads books with her?

You musta missed the part about 90 percent of the owners don't track. The ones that do might like a track section too! For the ones pretending to be interested in the Z06 but really are hecklers can go there too.

Right I meant good experiences too!

I go through the gears and hit 150 at least 3 times a week.
I don't see any stock car faster!

This section has seen far too much relevant and pertinent information about the C7Z broomed away to Other Cars or the mega merge black hole.

It doesn't need any more of that.

Already have one that is very active and informative. Click Here to get to it. Don't need one specifically for C7Z06s since their problems are really no different than other years.

Maybe we could just create a C7 Z06 complaint board. That ought to thin things out quite a bit.

Maybe we should start a "Z06 Legal Advice" section. You could moderate, since I have a feeling you'll be the first to learn about this stuff.

Nope I'll let some else. You can moderate that yourself!
Since you already know everything there is to know!
