Once again, it's time for the FNGT!If you don't know how this works,
click this link. That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should upgoat go down.
NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, ask a regular participant (such as @Sleazy or myself).
If you already know what's going on, you probably don't need to click any of those links. You can still visit to see if any changes have been made, as that's also where we kept the archives and have a second forum.
By the way, we're down to just two of us. If you want to help, let us know.

It's fun even at slower speeds. Once you've learned the track, it's easier to pick up speed. You need to memorize the track to really go fast. A decision made in one corner can screw up your whole lap time, making you slow a half-dozen corners later. Knowing the optimal racing line is the key. A good race car driver will 'hit their marks' consistently. They'll be within an inch or two every lap, unless they're in traffic and need to pass someone.
We drove around to a couple of Chevy dealerships. Every Corvette on the lot was priced higher than sticker price as a 'dealer adjustment'. That includes the regular ol' C8. I refuse to pay more than sticker, but I'll happily pay the sticker price and pay it in cash. Well, put it on a credit card.
I'm not a huge Mustang fan, but the Dark Horse is of interest to me. I'd have to order it. I might do that and then it'll be here when I come back down. The Dark Horse isn't that powerful but it's fast and track focused.
So, there's that as an option.
I'll work on the C8 ZR1 when I'm back in Maine. I know some people, so I should be able to get it at the real price. I don't care how much I want a car. I will not pay more than sticker price for it. If they want to charge more than that, they can fuck off. I'll go without. There are a ton of great cars out there. I'll be fine without one of them.
