Default Have you ever...

Have you ever taken your C3 on a road course or autocrossed it?

I've done both with my C3 and C4.
But the C3 was my favorite. It was set up for those type of events and it always put a smile on my face.

Thanks. That's why I call it the "money shot" in my photohost account. My favorite pic!

I took my c3 to autocross once, just because my daughters both went and another friend, and my oldest daughter's boyfriend. We planned to autocross just the c5 and c6. Well, at the end of the day, I decided to autocross HOOTERS (the c3) just easily...yeah, right!

I had my friend drive her first because I wanted to hear how she sounded. Ooo yea!

Once I got her out there and going myself, it was such a blast that I did another run!

And she's definitely not set up for it!

Liz,
Post a pic of your C3, would love to see it. I thought you had newer ones

I can't wait to hear mine come back to life after its long nap. Once I'm done with grad school I want to have the engine rebuilt or inquire into putting an LS I or II into it. I'm wondering what kind of nightmare that would be LOL

You mean the C3 frame didn't turn into a pretzel and the body didn't crack to pieces on the first turn!
