What has your experience been like? good & bad?

Thanks!

I've been looking at them! White one in a neighborhood looks awesome. The price point is very tempting. Be interested to hear the comments.

Have not driven one yet, but I know a couple owners who love them on the track. Interior and seats are finally in the same league as the chassis and powertrain.

For those of you on the west coast or who follow Global Time Atrack, a Z51 ran a 1:51.089 on 140+ TW tires in street class at Buttonwillow.

with the bus stop? either way, pretty darn fast

Yep, 13CW. Look at the results. Lots of insanely fast times. The repave is worth about 2sec but so many sub 1:50 times. Evasives s2k ran a 51 on street tires and their FRS ran a 47 on RC1s.

Have tried to sit in the new vette yet? You probably won't fit. Not even close for me or Trakcar.

Yes I fit with the extra special optional track seats. Not sure with a helmet, however...

Interesting... I thought that they would build this car to fit an American. (No negativity meant at all, Americans are big people, simple fact.) I mean I would assume an upper-end of 6 foot 2 and 250 pounds at least... How large would be too large to fit? (I am big guy also, so that's why I am curious).

A local friend has one that he tracks, the automatic trans is a problem, it overheats. I think they gave him a new tranny and are talking him into trading it in for a Z06.

I am 6-4 and I fit with about 2" to spare above my head.

I drove one today as part of Bob Bondurant's Advanced Racers program. I was impressed with the usable power, braking and overall handling. Much improved interior compared to earlier models. The school has the cars set up with street tires and as much negative camber as the stock suspension allows. They must be set to track mode with all driver stability tools off.

The cars are heavy and don't like to be throttle steered like the rear engine cars I've been driving, they do better using the brakes to get the car steered.

I'm 6'1 and had no issue with head room.

I'd love to drive one that's track only and see what the difference is when it's lighter and set up with slicks.

Great overall street car with tremendous opportunity for fun at the track.

I have another opportunity to experience the car tomorrow.

I'm told it was 13CW layout. The winner clocked a 1:39...Time Attack cars are VERY fast!
