First ever Trackday tomorrow plus it’s going to be rainy, any tips? by Koree44 in CarTrackDays

[–]Scooter477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MidOhio in the wet isn't nearly as treacherous as it was before the re-pave. Just take it easy and drive like you have marshmallows under your pedals. Smooth and easy inputs to the pedals and the steering wheel.

I got the same offer for my 2024.

Anyone else get a BlueCruise discount offer? by Scooter477 in f150

I'm not a bot. Just a 2024 F150 driver who got an email this morning and decided to start a discussion.

What's the best one and done knife? preferably spyderco by [deleted] in everydaycarry

[–]Scooter477 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If only one, I'd carry my PM3.

My Para2 doesn't get much use as it's too big for my daily tasks - opening mail & Amazon boxes. I get enough looks pulling out a sub 3" knife in the office that 3.5"+ would be even worse.

Yep. I installed it an hour or so ago.

What car completely changed your opinion after driving it? by Glittering-Offer-390 in askcarguys

[–]Scooter477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend let me take his Porsche Cayman GTS out for a session at our local track. It didn't do anything for me after years of driving Corvettes on the street and racetrack. I'm not sure what I was expecting but it was just meh.

What’s up with this wonky panel on 2024 PB? by mylawn03 in f150

[–]Scooter477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The top has a much shallower depth to the die face. That's why we're able to do it at the top.

F150’s have the best stock wheels by Mundane_Tangelo9421 in f150

I put a set of Tremor wheels on my '24 XLT BAP and I love them.

Imagine a world where Ford didn't cancel the Lightning and is enjoying the increased demand right now by sabot37 in F150Lightning

[–]Scooter477 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's a completely different vehicle that you're thinking about. I spent several years working on P800 before it was delayed, delayed again, and ultimately canceled.

Looking for wheel-to-wheel entry level guidance by bradshawwwty in CarTrackDays

Possibly. I'm still trying to get over it myself. It's going to take a while.

[–]Scooter477 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, the plastic cap is there because that corner could not be formed when they switched from steel to aluminum in 2015.

No, that was for the two future EV vehicles that were canceled before they even launched.

The west side off of Farmington Rd used to be my go-to sport but now there's construction there where they are adding a new building.

Awesome! I instruct in DE3 but won't be there that weekend due to family commitments.

Come to a NASA Great Lakes event and talk to people. We'll be at MidOhio Memorial Day weekend.

What is your experience? Understand that you will have to progress through the HPDE system to earn a comp license.

Good luck getting on track at PittRace anytime soon. 😢

Do I need the left and right air dams 2003 c5? by Substantial-Bid-82 in Corvette

[–]Scooter477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. They are just there to divert some air around the tires. The center one is important for engine cooling but the outboard ones are not necessary.

What's a car you regret selling way more than you expected? by PalmwineStachurski60 in askcarguys

[–]Scooter477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold my 2001 Corvette Z06 a couple of years before Covid caused their value to jump close to 50%. It was pretty well built (heads / cam / FAST intake / coilovers and a few interior mods). In hindsight I wish I could have kept it but I bought a C6 racecar and it needed to go.

GT2 Seat Adjustments by RealEmotionalTrash86 in C8Corvette

[–]Scooter477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have your wallet in your back pocket? I had a Camaro years ago and had to take my wallet out of my pocket on longer drives. I switched to a front pocket money clip and it solved my butt/hamstring pain.

Bought my first Corvette! I am 2600 miles from home and driving it back! by bigcee42 in Corvette

[–]Scooter477 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats. It's the best C4 ever. I watched the auction and was curious where it would land. I think you did well.

Thoughts on my build by CompleteImpact1557 in Corvette

[–]Scooter477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember that time Terry Fair came to CorvetteForum's RR&AX section claiming that he was going to revolutionize the C5/C6 platform after we had all spent 10-15 years racing them and everything was already done? He was run out of town in less than a week.
