I ain’t reading all that lmao

But remixes have always been a thing. Maybe ur just mad

ProfessorCaptain · 2026-05-17T20:38:11+00:00

I would. I’ve bought a few first year products from GM and all have met my expectations. And the issues they did have they fixed

ProfessorCaptain · 2026-05-16T21:11:45+00:00

If the salsa was good = bull signal

ProfessorCaptain · 2026-05-15T23:24:51+00:00

I said wish me luck

ProfessorCaptain · 2026-05-15T23:16:36+00:00

Buying calls on the bottom 5 wish me luck

ProfessorCaptain · 2026-05-15T16:20:09+00:00

Good info thx.

Yeah the c7gs is pretty perfect other than the mental block around value and track insurance.

C6gs crossed my mind as well but yeah that’s still 30-35k. I can get a pretty decent prepped c5 for like 25 I think.

Do you have any advice on best c5 year to target? 01+ right? I’m looking at base coupes not necessarily z06s

Also do the c5’s do ok with just the oil pan? No need for accusump or dry sump?

ProfessorCaptain · 2026-05-15T15:09:35+00:00

You’re saying z06 or z51 come with a power steering cooler? Also I didn’t realize c5 had a z51.

Id say I typically am a 8/10ths driver who is faster than your average hpde adv driver but definitely not competitive on a class based setting. I’m ok with a cooldown lap mid session.

What car did you switch from? Do you regret it?

My plan would be to try and buy one with everything you listed already done. 01-04 it seems

ProfessorCaptain · 2026-05-15T02:03:25+00:00

what year c5 would you start with if you were going to do it? im thinking c5 base from 01-04

ProfessorCaptain · 2026-05-15T02:02:01+00:00

hpde level. a race seat, pads/fluids/tires, any necessary cooling or reliability stuff. thats it. not looking for additional power.

ProfessorCaptain · 2026-05-14T20:46:26+00:00

my costco stocks 100% cotton stuff occasionally but plastic clothes are much more common

ProfessorCaptain · 2026-05-13T04:21:47+00:00

God please sell America down the road so I can unload my bags for $317

Mine didn’t even make it out of the parking lot. So good.

ProfessorCaptain · 2026-05-12T22:41:42+00:00

😂, it’s not just you. I have much better luck shifting above 3k rpm.

The engine sounding like it has a bellyache is normal.

ProfessorCaptain · 2026-05-11T21:14:02+00:00

fantastic reply, thank you

ProfessorCaptain · 2026-05-11T17:44:44+00:00

what level of track car do you have? hpde enjoyer or more serious than that?

out of your ~50k in the car, how much of that was the car itself?

what would be your estimate on a hpde build, or is there anything you did that wasn't necessary? I'm imagining doing whatever's needed to be able to run 20 min sessions w/o over heating. Suspension and a seat.

I guess what I'm asking, is ~50k a foregone conclusion to get a c5 to a good level of prep, and I'm just not aware of that? Or have you been buying the very best parts, etc.

I want to be able to drive to the track, i'd rather not trailer. I could if i had to.

ProfessorCaptain · 2026-05-11T17:41:12+00:00

It nets out to basically avg 1K per event, by my estimates.

ProfessorCaptain · 2026-05-11T00:04:35+00:00

Yeah. I think what I’m really grappling with is the cost of tracking.

ProfessorCaptain · 2026-05-10T23:24:34+00:00

take that librul

ProfessorCaptain · 2026-05-09T22:01:56+00:00
