Here's the video of the last of my 5 sessions at the school. With 4 more days track days, I'm much smoother now.

All this talk about the Cup 2R's? Clearly the 4S TPC Spec is the better tire for daily street driving. The Cup 2R's are desired for track days. But why use Cup 2R's for track days rather than Michelin S8M's or S9M's?

Look your springs over closely. The mechanic prepping the car at the delivering dealer could have left one or both of the blocks in the springs that are installed at the factory for shipping purposes. If you see one, jack the front end up one side at a time to take the weight off the spring...

I can watch that all day! 115mph through turn 2, into the Esses at 120 and coming out at 145 before hitting 160 on the back straight.👏 What group were you in? That looked like a combination of B and C groups. I only know the HOD system, which goes: A-Novice (with instructor) A-Solo B C D...

I just turned 60 and recently bought the first new car of my life. Feeling like the "kid in the candy store" driving this thing. Always wanted to try driving something on a track. There's plenty of stock "Showroom floor" cars going faster than me. No death wish here, it's called being an...

Yes, I have the PDR. I watch the videos over and over and over and over looking for areas for improvement. At Watkins I was slowing to 90mph entering turn 2. From watching the videos and the G-force meter and considering the slicks, I know I'll be over 95mph entering turn 2. I was entering...

How far are you from Lime Rock and Palmer? There's also an event at Watkins Glen July 4th-6th with Hooked On Driving. That will be a huge event. Camping, bands, fireworks, the whole works.

Well, I might be getting a 2016 Corvette from an estate sale. That would be a 3,300lb car with slicks, better? The problem is the thing is an automatic, arrghh!

Yeah, I'm pushing it pretty hard. As a friend said who I took for a ride at Palmer, "driving it like you stole it". I'm dinging 1.1-1.2 on the G-force gauge in most turns. I hit 136mph on the back straight at Watkins Glen last year. I think I should be able to reach 145mph this year...

By chance do you still have them?

There are a number of different organizations that rent tracks for a day for their members, such as Porsche clubs, BMW clubs, Hooked On Driving, SCCA time trials, etc. Some tracks have their own Open Lapping days for the general public. Around $500 track fee for the day with an instructor...

Looking for an OEM set of 4-Blackwing wheels. I'd prefer bronze but am open to any color. Thanks

Anyone in the NY/CT/MA/RI areas want to meet up for some Blackwing track days? Palmer MA - July 15th anybody?

Just regular track days and maybe time trial events. I did the Cadillac Academy at Spring Mountain, NV. Since then 1 day at Lime Rock, 2 days at Palmer Motorsports and 1 day at Watkins Glen. I tend to always want more, so figured I go all the way to the Michelin Cup N2's.

Has anyone tried racing slicks on your CT4-V Blackwing for track days? I'm trying to get confirmation on what fits these cars. Seems like 25/64 should fit the front and 27/65 might fit the back. Can anyone confirm? Thanks

Hello All, Will 265/35/18 and 285/30/18 tires fit on the CT4-V Blackwing for track use? I was thinking of going with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2's, but they aren't available in 255/35/18. They are in 275/35/18, so the more important question is will 265's fit on the front?

Sent a PM last week. Are these items still available?

Like Synister said, it just does it on it's own. Being I'd driven standards all my life, I never even noticed the feature. Someone else pointed is out to me.

I'm late to the conversation, but my vote is for the manual. The primary reason I bought the CT4 Blackwing is because it's available in a standard. The primary reason I don't have a C8 Corvette is because it's not available in a standard. I saw several people mention the hill hold feature...

Hi Mike, How about including the ride if I take it all for $900? Bret Zip Code 06413
