I traded in my 2021 Mach 1 (Track Pkg./manual transmission) on a 2023 Corvette 2LT Z51 back in February. Love the Vette but also still have some regrets (mainly the note on an $84k car vs. a $60k car). I was also considering the Dark Horse but snatched up the Vette on a whim when a local dealer...

I’m using this windshield mount I bought from Amazon… For the speedometer and track map overlays, I do them in the GoPro Quik app. They are available in the “stickers” editing function of the app.

Had a little fun in my ‘21 Mach 1 chasing a ‘22 Porsche 911 GT3 at NOLA Motorsports last week. He towed me to my best few laps of the day. There were over 50 cars at the open track day - I think the breakdown was 21 in Novice, 24 in Intermediate, and 6 in Advanced (some serious cars in that...

Believe me, I was shocked. I was hoping to be within a couple seconds of my GS Vette time, and ended up beating it. Granted, each track day I tend to shave a second or two off my times, but on the other hand the Mach 1 was my first track day in 2 years (had a truck in between having those two...

I’ve never driven a 1LE, but I did have a 2019 Grand Sport Vette. My first time at the track in my 2021 Mach 1 HP, I ran a better personal best lap time than I did in my Vette.

Agreed. My son had a 2017 Cali Special GT and I recently had a 2019 Grand Sport Vette. When I test drove my Mach 1, it felt more like the Vette than the GT. My other son was the salesman, and 30 seconds into the test drive I said, I’ll take it.”

Awesome! Is it everything you hoped it would be? Let me know when you’re ready for a track day at NOLA. I’m doing the one on Dec. 2 if the weather is good. They do some lead-follow sessions for novices if you’re interested.

Congrats on the car. After 2,500miles and 1 track day I replaced my tires. Went with the Pilot Sport 4s tires and love them on the street and on the track. I bought my tires from Tire Rack and had them delivered straight to the dealer for installation, and they came with a road hazard warranty...

I love mine.

Correct.

2:03.00 lap at NOLA Did my second track day on Friday, this time running PS4S tires. Saw no dropoff from the Cup2s. On the Cups, I ran a 2:02.48 last time, but the track was a half second shorter because we ran the “bus stop” configuration which eliminates one curve of the S turns. This time we...

Ran my second track day on Friday, this time with the PS4S. Ran the same times I did with the Cup 2 tires last month, which was a pleasant surprise. A bit more squealing from the tires, but they held up and didn’t have nearly the wear that the Cup 2 had. Love the PS4S!

I’m wondering if there is a happy medium between street/track setup. The excessive wear on the outer half of my Cup 2s after that first track day makes it obvious that some adjustment is needed. Heading into track day 2 I’m on a new set of PS4S. Not going to set it up myself but don’t want to...

I put some PS4S on a couple weeks ago. Love them - it drives so much nicer on the street. Doing another track day Friday so I’ll give some feedback compared to last month’s on the Cups.

Swap you for a ‘22 then...a ‘22 Corvette, that is. :crackup:

How about a trade for the ‘71? 😜

You don’t want mine - it already needs a new set of tires.😜

Oh, have no doubt - I’ll get you on the track at NOLA for sure.

How much track time could you get out of a set? I think I can work around the temperature limits of a summer tire since I don’t have to drive on a daily basis (retired), but I’d love to be able to get 10-12K miles with 3-4 track days also out of a set of tires. Seems like I might be able to get...

This was a pleasant surprise - didn’t even know there was a photographer there at NOLA track day... Gotta admit - that thang looks purty on the track.
