oohhh....corvettes!

it would be interesting to see how well the 3 handles the course compared to the vettes.

the westend is too far for me to make it for 9am. i wonder if the $1/run is timed?

[david3]

I think they are. Last time I just went and watched for a bit at around 3-4PM and they were still being timed. I don\'t know if everyone had their first runs in yet though. If I recall correctly I only saw a few corvettes and they didn\'t seem to do anything impressive. One STI impressed me a lot though. :-)

i rode in an STI driven by an auto-x instructor/past-ontario-champion around an auto-x course and the STI was nothing short of phenomenal. it is ridiculous how fast that car is and how well it handles.

My friend test drove one on the weekend. It was a used one with 30,000 km. So my friend asked the young saleman if he can \"pound\" it. The salesman told him to go ahead as long as he didn\'t redline it. So he shifted at 6000 rpm for every gear. He hit 100 km/hr in 2nd gear and went up to 180 in 4th. He is VERY interested in getting one now. :D
