Since the blue bonnets are out, and I got the car hand washed and waxed, thought I'd share a couple pics with yall. Too bad I don't have a real camera anymore, lol

So this is the car your road racing

The one I will. Have the throttle body out for hand porting right now. Next month will buy new helmet ( mine is too old and won't pass tech). Sometime this year getting a 6 point cage. Got all the fluids changed for hpde days. The car with the optional 1LE track package, is race ready (ish), lol. The real road racer is the Z28, but my wallet ain't that fat, lol
One more.

The 1LE adds bigger sway bars, 20x10 and 20x11 forged rims, with sticky tires, close ratio M6, 3.91 rear gears, better struts and shocks, and some fluid coolers. Cosmetically, adds the flat black hood, spoiler and splitter. Not bad for $3,500 more than stock SS. It handles like a cart...flat and quick. Suspension and steering is very communicative. Imho, it's about the best bang for you buck entry level race ready car around. Of corse the new (2017) 1LE is lighter and more powerful, lol. It also cost an estimated $16,000 MORE than I paid for this one new
Looks pretty badass. If I saw that approaching in my mirror, I'd move to the right pronto.
I notice people do that for me, too. (I have a 2011 Mustang - V6 - but it looks the part to the uninformed with the Pony grille.)

It's not all that quick or fast... (my 99 Z28 was faster), but it will run mid to low 13 secs at 102-105 in the 1/4. The automatic SS are quicker, but this thing corners like you wouldn't believe, once the tires are up to temperature of course. I haven't put it on scales yet, but it's supposed to weigh around 3,800lbs. It shouldn't handle like it does. One thing I don't like about the stock tires is they stick, stick, stick, then dont. No warning other than a slight whine just before they slip. It's very neutral handling up until then though. I can't imagine how much better the Z28 is.
I had it on a fairly quick 1mIle road course a bit ago. Was running consistent 56-57 second laps.
Here's my buddy's video on that track. His car is identical to mine, but he has headers and a tune. (And much more seat time)
A pleasure to watch your friend's video. He wasn't a jerk to the white car either, which was good to see.

The white car was a M3. The blue one that ran off and left them is a GTR. They were in the intermediate class that day, I was in the novice, but almost turning as fast a lap as my buddy. He had non stock tires on, which limited him, and tbh, I don't like the lines he was running. I hit almost every curb, lol.
Thats prolly why your wife is yelling at you.. Lol

Every time I see this thread title I get "My Sharona" stuck in my head.
I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.
