you…must be joking, right? there are on ramps where a car with 100hp is literally a liability unless it weighs well under a ton.

When will they get Intelligent Author Assist at Slate?

you will never detect the difference in unsprung weight

Some people certainly will.

Suspension technology has come a really, really long way in the past decade. An Emira will probably be a substantially better driving car than even a like-new 997.2.

Gotta love a Mercedes with a nice rack.

What is a skidpad if not a good empty area to learn characteristics…?

Find somewhere local that you can do autocross to learn the car’s behavior on the limits. Or just a giant empty parking lot with no cameras and not much traffic so you can use it as a skid pad.

cars are tools

you’re in the wrong subreddit, friend. cars are love. cars are life.

you sure do seem mad that people think your car color choice is boring as fuck

None of them. 6 laps simply isn’t enough to be worth what they probably charge for this kind of thing.

“Only”? I wouldn’t even believe “can” at this point, let’s wait till they have made at least one!

Love to hear that you’re enjoying it! 1200 miles already, nice work :). I still haven’t gotten to hear an LT6 in person, I can’t wait. And coming from a wing guy: the Z07 pack wing looks sick! Maybe you’ll learn to love it more :)

On the alignment: tramlining could also be the tires fwiw, doesn’t the Z07 pack come with Cup 2s? That’s a known “issue” with those tires (as is noise). The alignment could be off, but it could just be reasonably aggressive factory specs. My 911 came relatively aggressive from the factory and when I replaced the tires I made the mistake of letting the dealer align it without asking for anything in particular… so they gave me THE most basic “don’t hurt yourself” alignment. The car was basically inert until I had it redone and specified what I wanted. It’s fantastic now by comparison, dynamically excellent on the limit versus criminal understeer before (at least, at autocross - 10/10ths on the road is not my game, and I’m still too big of a pussy / confident in my stupidity to track it).

Enjoy it in good health!

high compression turbo engines reduce spark plug life.

Also, shorter service intervals make dealers happier.
