They have no idea what they got themselves into. I am going to have some tape what happends. I will keep you guys posted.

Good stuff. My Evo is wingless so I've never been subject to the anti hang glider crowd's comments. However I do work with a bunch of guys who drive $25k-$35k cars. First time one of them was in my car he wouldn't shut up about how crazy I was to spend $30k on an Evo when the same money could have got me so much more luxury. I'm the new guy so I just listened. When he brought it up at a meeting in front of everybody else for a few laughs I also took it with a smile.
Two weeks ago his P.O.S. FWD V8 Cadillac STS was back in the shop...again...for yet another problem. He ended up in my car for the day. By the end of the day he was on the phone with his brother-in-law (who is car shopping right now) begging him to get an Evo. Victory....sweet victory.

As for my cuz we are racing for braging rights and sibling rivalry not to mention cash. I will look to get any edge I can get.

Your username is funny

i would suggest you go to the track and make a few runs before you race the vette.
you have to figure out how to exaclty launch the car, and not shift too early.
its easy to think the car is easy to drive. launch the wrong way(which you will unless you have done it at least two or three times) and youll lose .4 seconds on the et
