It was weird moving to RWD for the first time in competitive driving. I miss the ease and predictability of driving the evo, but the Z06 puts a much bigger smile on my face.

Were you sure to remove your Toupee before accelerating? Lol

Jokes aside, your car sounds great and it looked like a blast! Great course they had setup!

 

Car runs strong, good video

 

Was that out at Millers for Wide Open Wednesday?

 

It was at MMP, but it was the auto-x on Sat / Sun of this past weekend.

 

I've never autox'd one, but from driving a Z06 on the street the first thing I noticed was how wide it was to my 350Z (what I had at the time, Evo is pretty similar width) and thought that would be my biggest issue in an autox... have you had any trouble adjusting to the width of the car?

 

This part is really true. Going from driving Evos to my brother's C6 Z06, you really notice how wide the car is. It may be nimble, but it feels big around you.

 

car looks like its running good looks like a blast

 

Nice video. Was that a Mini Countryman that you parked next to? How was it doing out there?

 

Nice video.

 

Yes, it was a countryman with the John Cooper Works package. It did not fare too well, but I put that more on the driver than the car. Either way it looked good with the JCW package, and I'm not a big fan of the clubman normally.

 

Nice! Congrats! How did it feel with instant tq and power everywhere

 

I've been auto-xing AWD for 6 years (S4, EvoX). Going from F/I AWD cars to this thing was like learning to drive all over again. I'm so used to point and shoot and not worrying about throttle modulation that I felt like a noob. There is very little room for error in this car, one wrong blip of the throttle and it's sideways. That said, I've never had more fun driving a car. It was a new challenge, and by mid-day I had improved leaps and bounds. The instant torque and super long gearing made it so fun.

Now I just need to get a harness bar, kirkey seat, and enjoy some much needed headroom.
