Raced the "MiniVan" and won a raffle too. :)
I finished my 2-day Extreme autocross school today. I absolutely devoured my race tires in the Z06 yesterday, and figured Marcus would not be too pleased if I mounted his brand new Hoosiers, so I took the "MiniVan".
Yes, the 2006 feels like a MiniVan compared to the Z06. I did pretty well and learned a few things this weekend. I'm pretty sure I was very close to the fastest car out there today. Yesterday, the Z06 was the fastest by a LARGE margin. I did get beat by Tim Aro (school founder) by 7/100ths of a second. I beat him by a quarter second today in the MiniVan. He forgot how to drive an automatic. I thought this was a pretty cool angle. Oh yeah, they held a "pull the name out of the hat" at the end of the school and I won a 20% off coupon when I buy 4 Hoosiers! That's $320. Before I forget....The MiniVan: |

Cool video.
I assume those tires were toast after your runs? |

Since they are only $800/set for the C6, AND it rained pretty heavily today at the end of the day, taking the '06 was a wise decision. $800 doesn't even buy me two Hoosiers for the rear of the Z06. |

Pretty cool perspective with the camera
Is the camera mounted above cone height? Some of them looked pretty close. |

This car is 3 inches narrower than the Z06, so it was a little easier to place near the cones. |
