Ever since 2002 I've always wanted to ship my Vette to Europe and do a road trip and then watch the 24 hours LeMans race in person. Some day.... smile

2016 Grand Prix of Long Beach and Corvette Racing GTLM

 
 By: ED209 : April 17th, 2016-17:00
As a Corvette fan, I look forward every year in April to visit the Corvette Corral and cheer on the race team at the Grand Prix of Long Beach. Chevrolet and Corvette put on a really nice hospitality area with private parking for 100 Corvettes. Weather was...  

Did not know you were a Vette fan :)

I have to say I really like them since the C6 Z06 - that 7.0 liter V8 being mighty nice indeed Nice report of the event, btw. Was about to ask which Stingray (vintage or modern) but you answered it within the post. So how do you like it?

I love the C7!

 
 By: ED209 : April 17th, 2016-21:42
Thanks KMII. Corvettes have been my daily driver for the past 18 years. Recently picked up the new 2016 Corvette Convertible and I absolutely love it! Everything has been improved over the previous generation including quality materials on the interior, b...  

The package has been excellent for a while, now

The C5 was already an unbeatable value and a great sports car. The C6 got only better and the more compact size made it better compatible with the rest of the world Now the interior materials caught up and the rest got suitably refined... I think Chevrole... 

The current one your favorite?

I mean emotionally as well as being the best rationally speaking?

current C7 is phenomenal

 
 By: ED209 : April 21st, 2016-07:40
The new C7 is great, but emotionally I still am fond of my 1998 C5 Coupe, lots of sentimental value because it was my first Corvette and also because I drove it to many special events. Regards, ED-209

If you still have pictures of it lying around...

You got the new Corvette? Didn't know that, congratulations, Ed.

These new Corvettes have killer and very striking looks. Rgds Raymond

Yes, thanks!

It's been great so far, really love driving with the top down. How are you enjoying the i8? Regards, ED-209

Best decision ever, both my wife and I love to drive it, not giving up the key :))

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : April 21st, 2016-22:05
It really is different in terms of design, drive train, so efficient yet enough power and quite fast. I will be visiting their factory in Leipzig in June as well as a possible chance to The Quail this year due to their 100 yr anniversary. Rgds Raymond

great to hear that

 
 By: ED209 : April 27th, 2016-18:31
Hi Raymond, it's great to hear that you and your wife are enjoying the i8 so much. Awesome to visit the factory. I did Quail the previous year, and would be cool to meet up if I can make it to Monterey in August. It's an awesome event. Regards, ED-209

Cool to meet up, will touch base again in August...

if everything goes ok, will see you Aug 19 at the event. Rgds Raymond

Thanks leghapfraise, it was definitely exciting and a lot of fun. Do you have any favorite racing teams? Regards, ED-209

Gosh, it's been five years . . .

. . . since my last trip to Long Beach, Ed. I'd planned on going, but had been out and about during the week, and decided to stay home over the weekend instead. Managed to catch some of the racing on TV Saturday afternoon, but not beginning to end. Art

Missed you at the race

It's been a while Art, hope to see you at next year's GPLB. Regards, ED-209
