Default C8 in anger impressions

So I took 3 laps and GWiz took 2 laps. The first lap I took, I let the D transmission do the shifting. This car had a LOT of understeer. My 2nd two laps I did pure manual mode, and it was much better. Where the automatic trans was going into 3rd, you lose engine braking front grip on the tires.

Will post some videos tomorrow. Laptop still in the C8, and I need it to read the card from the PDR.

GWiz took 2 laps and beat me by 7/10ths. I rode with her on lap one, and her driving style is so smooth and refined, and she was slower, but got my fat ass out for lap two, and she kicked my ass. Now that I have my own car again, I will be getting seat time again. I've become stale not having a regular ride for the past 6 years. That changes now.

I let 5 different people do 0-60 pulls in it, and every single one of them was grinning from ear to ear.
