If you think a Corvette is an `old mans car`, please go to an autoX or HPDE. They are a dime-a-dozen and are driven by all age, skill, and somewhat demographics (especially the C5s). Granted, I feel like I am an old man at times.

I re-read the thread to see if I gave the notion that I haven't driven the BRZ, which I don't think I have. However, there is a HUGE difference between a test drive and anyone who has done (and is relatively fast at) HPDE/autoXes. Hence the need for input from those more experienced, as I am not going to get that on a test drive with a car that is stock and under cambered.

The real question is for those who have come from higher powered cars (~400+) driven competitively and then move back down to the BRZ. I think I am asking for a very few people to provide input to that question, but I thought I would ask.

The Corvette is scheduled for valve spring replacement within the month. I will also be getting some 18.x10.5" for the front and looking for a 275/315 setup to start, I think.

Thanks for your input.

What valve springs are you doing?
