[TPR] Fw: C7 parts to dyno!

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Great review....loved it.....yea I don't like all the bells and whistles....i don't even like the OnStar on my new Chevy work truck....I pushed the wrong button on reare view mirror and a woman said, 
"Alstar, how can I help you?"............

You KNOW what I wanted to say but did not.....do I really need this on a PICK UP?
Yea probably but give me my 62 Chevy p/u anyday.

yea Cup car sounds GREAT....can we 'BADGE" it as a PANTERA? ;-)

I tried to do the trade but they were afraid that they might be upstaged by the  its performance after 40 years. The old dog teaching the new kid some old tricks. 
 
Had a great time driving the new C7 vette.  It performed very well. There were 3 courses, a slalom, short road course, and a little longer road course  with esses going over a crest. This is the part of this track that I love.
 
We were grouped according to our proficiency, thankfully.  It was follow the leader ( in a Camaro) with the slowest driver determining the speed.  On the short road course I was the last in line in a car with auto tranny. the car seemed to miss or stumble  on two sections of the track.  Of course not knowing what all the buttons did meant that I was driving in the touring mode. Should have been in track mode. Live and learn. 
 Next was the longer road course. This time I was right behind the leader in a stick shifter in track mode. Couldn't figure out how to determine if I was in rev matching or not. In car video will tell in a couple of weeks. Will send code to all at that time. You can be the judge,  All I can  say it was a blast till we got to the hairpin turn, then the leader stopped to wait for the last car to catch up. then off again.  A total blast.

Last session was the slalom course. Took the stick car and was the middle car of 3. Did the slalom without using brakes. The car is quite responsive but a little heavy. 
 
Jim Wallace's says the what a car needs is just a credit card and a torque wrench. This car will satisfy those requirements.
 
Regarding my engine, since I am no longer in a rush so we are going to put it on an engine dyno and play around with it to see what we can get.

PS; the  vette at this time does not meet my needs. A cup car is the way to go.

I smell a rat jumping ship!

Nothing wrong with those damn cars, but I like what I have. 
Nothing wrong with gay sex, but the tried and true seems to work for me. 

Just my opinion.
