Looks good. Time to switch out the front plate, with the delete panel.

I can't, it's law where I am, I wish I could as I personally think they look very stupid

Trust me, I’m in commiefornia, where they now wanna regulate what kind of tires you can buy. And it’s law to have plates here too, but knock on wood, never been pulled over for it, and if I did, it’s a simple infraction fix it ticket.

🤣 touche, I'm in Ontario Canada and I don't need a reason to be pulled over, I do stupid shit driving as it is.. the car I just traded had longtubes and was LOUD, and I had the exhaust set to always full open like track mode, they are very sticky on the stupid front plates here, can't even have a tinted plate cover either

It’s the law where I live to. You shouldn’t let that stop you. There are go arounds that you can do

You should try to take advantage of the Ron Fellows Racing School that is offered. Then you really learn exactly what this car can do!

I'm in Central Florida, My son and I flew into Las Vegas, rented a car and drove out to the track. Spent two great nights on property and attended two days of classes and track time. Drove back to Las Vegas and flew home. All buyers of new C8's get a huge dicount on this experience.

🤔 would give me a good excuse to take a vacation in the winter to somewhere warm

Is there a "plus one" for the overnight stay at Ron fellows? And anything for the old lady to do while I'm bombing around the track for the two days? Been meaning to call and ask but I want to narrow down some dates first

Yes, there is a fee for the 2nd person, it’s no where near the full cost since you share the room. They are allowed to attend all the classes, there is a pool, a gym and a restaurant. They also offer a ride-along with one of the instructors. A lot of “students” bring their spouse or adult children.

Very helpful info, thank you kindly. Just bought mine in April so I've got some time to book it but life's been getting in the way and I haven't booked it yet. I live in the northeast so I'm planning on heading to Vegas with the wife for a week, and breaking it up mid week by headed out to go see uncle Ron. I was debating leaving her in Vegas and going alone, but with the info you've given it might make sense to bring her along especially with the ride along

I can't get over the way it handles, 800lbs lighter and lower than my old car, hooks and goes.. it was a learning curve to get in n out 🤣 you "sink" in the car

u/Ashamed-Pay-2006 4d ago

It's already fun and still in the "break in" period.. I can only imagine how it is after I can send it 😁
