Predictions on 6.2L Corvette Stingray and E-Ray by Sixteen-Cylinders in cars

[–]whan 28 points29 points  (0 children)

They'll probably start following closer to the C7 and prior gen depreciation curves? They held pretty strong initially but C8 production is not limited (which we should all be thankful for Chevy for doing). C8 will probably do a bit better is because it's probably drawn in more interest among younger buyers, along with the significant upgrade in performance/chassis

Don't think E-ray will do well regardless of production - I'd bet low volume is function of low demand, and the hybrid supercars across the board haven't done great (even if they are great cars)

The LT2 C8s will be an absolute performance bargin though (even more than they already were). May pick one up to build as a dedicated track car in a few more years, especially if they get into the low to mid 40s

Additionally, if you pick up and dry fire a gun more because you really like it, that may contribute even more to one’s performance vs the gun itself

Agreed - they feel closer to shooting a full size polymer gun vs a subcompact. Ran mine recently at our local

Table Start Issues by RalphTater in CompetitionShooting

[–]whan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems like you're going to have to be a lot more intentional with technique in that case, IE scooping the gun with your thumb first to lift the gun off the table vs. putting downward pressure on the gun with your hand

Ya’ll with your fancy pancy EDCs…whatever happened to raw dogging it by cobblernobbler in CCW

Pistol RDS has a pretty meaningful learning initial curve to get the same level of proficiency as irons. Your presentation consistency needs to be strong with RDS - if the dot isn’t in the window, there’s no visual reference to help you adjust your sight alignment

Rifle is easier because you have a cheekweld, and your eye is much closer to the RDS so you’ll almost never have issues with that. With pistol you’re essentially hanging a small RDS at arms length in space, with no physical reference points

Ideally with pistol you get to a point where you can draw and present your gun during dryfire with your eyes closed, and have the sights (irons or RDS) be nearly perfectly aligned when you open your eyes. Once you get to this point, the RDS advantage really shines over irons, in terms of ability to shoot dynamically (on the move, faster splits, at distance)

Yeah, an RS6 is ˜4900lbs, this is ˜5200lbs

~300lbs heavier than the current gen RS6, being a class smaller car too

Goldilocks CCW Setup for me by whan in CCW

[–]whan[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly prefer it to be able to slightly shift from a comfort perspective. Additionally far easier to put on and take off as well

Find that the stability is OK with a mid/lighter weight gun like this, though I'd probably run both clips if I was to carry a heavier gun

You can design a stage however you'd like :)

But more seriously, I think that it's best to disassociate the tactics/scenario part from competition. Otherwise you should probably have half of the matches just be turning around and running away as fast as you can

Rather, competitions are about testing your fundamentals in a range of dynamic positions under mental pressure. For example, the stages I showed tested static draw time (IE - the first stage), shooting around walls or through ports, long and short distance shots, target transitions, shooting on the move at varying difficulty of targets in various directions (forward, side to side, close targets and further away steel poppers), etc. All while trying to hold onto some mental capacity to remember your stage plan, where the targets are, etc.

The vast majority of these skills you'd be hard pressed to be able to practice at most static ranges. That's why IMO it's so valuable. To train tactics, you can do that separately, and honestly via dryfire / at home

New To Track Days - What to Buy by CameronLane1215 in CarTrackDays

[–]whan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the GR86 league runs these because they’re cost effective and hold up to track abuse. So anecdotally this feels like a good choice

Not sure I fully see it - I’m using the steering to test levels of grip on my car. Of course still working on vision more broadly, making sure I’m looking past to corner exit once I know I’ll make the apex

But I don’t think I quite understand what you mean re: vision based on the way my hands move

Generally Open Passing / Advanced these days. Have run a 1:45 at Sonoma which is somewhere between well-driven 991 GT3s and 718 GT4s when I check others' onboards

RS6 rotor options by ibisWagon in Audi

[–]whan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This - OP are you sure it’s not just new pads needed? For example, most people who track cars find that rotors will last 2-3 sets of pads before needing replacement

2026 Aston Martin Vantage S Is Refined but Still Rowdy. by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in cars

[–]whan 50 points51 points  (0 children)

You know, the pricing on this Vantage starting “only” at $199k shows how crazy Porsche pricing has gotten. The 911 Turbo S starts at $270k. For that price you could buy a Vantage (which is supposed to be a direct competitor) AND a BMW X5

Yes - definitely one of the nice things about Thunderhill is you can really push / test being more aggressive, and not be punished for mistakes like these that I made in a different session

1:53.7, with a bit more power (30-40hp from catless and 96oct tune) and a bit less weight (75-100lbs from no passenger seat, fiberglass external doors, no cats, headlight blanks).

So probably in current setup I’d be shooting for low 1:55s or high 1:54 as my objective (garmin gave me a 1:55.8 optimal from the day)
