good one to watch over and over
How did you know I was doing that Terry? 😁
its good stuff Glenn! thanks for your effort
Cool video Ozzstar..It was quite something to hear that a pro couldn't even use 650 hp from the z06 on the streets.
I don't know if they did this when you were there, but they took us into the garage and went over some of the features of the car. That's when they showed us the rotor.GM dealer in town did it but wouldn't own up to it.
Yes I saw a damaged ceramic rotor. It was inspiration to film the wheel lug extension video to prevent damage. ruclips.net/video/xTJTpNQDnCU/видео.html
It’s amazing how the professionals make it look so easy. By the second day, I would say you were very close to driving like the pros. From that I can gather that you are a quick study which means you have a strong passion to learn the techniques. I could also tell that you enjoyed putting this video together. So glad to see Glen that you had a great time! And who would ever thought that the brake pedal was the ‘go fast pedal’. 😀👍
Hey thanks Terry. Yes I did learn a lot and mainly because I an interested in the subject. 😉 I spent about 10-12 hours editing time on this video, maybe more. It was fun putting it all together and a lot of work. Thinking back what I learned at the track four months ago came easily. Take care and I really appreciate you be a long time subscriber and contributor to my channel. 👍 Take care.
Man that looked like a barrel of fun! Wish they had a class for like that for my Silverado ... I drive similarly when I need to get home. 🤣
You think 500 on the street is alot, well I've got a buddy with a '10 Camaro that's put around $30-LARGE into - he laid down just under 800 HP ... AT the REAR WHEELS!! This thing is STUPID fast, to the point where you have to be careful going down a bumpy road - let your foot bounce on that throttle, and you'll be sideways before you even know what hit you, LOL. Thing leaves rubber at 130 MPH!!! 😎 It's INSANE. I think my buddy has an app for his phone that tells G-forces - I'm going to have to pay attention to that when accelerating when he gives me a hell-ride this summer. 😊
Thanks for sharing, Glen! Good stuff!! 👍👍
It sounds like your friends Camaro is insane man! Maxing out the G's, oh hell yeah!
@@ozzstars_cars - Now that I've got my channel going, I'll have to film the next ride in that thing - I think you guys will enjoy it. 😁
@@SmittySmithsonite cool!
Good video
Thank you
Was never so excited to go to school 😆 thanks for the video
The best fun I ever had at school! Let me know how accurate I was if you can with the info discussed in the video. Have fun!
Ozzstar certainly. Probably next yeah, however. Missus too, wants to be at the wheel, which is quite an expensive proposition.)
Great video Glen. Thanks. I went to the Owners school in early October and it was everything everyone has said. Truly outstanding experience.
Jim
It is an awesome experience and an amazing car to own. Thanks for your comment Jim!
I set aside 42 minutes in solitude so I would not miss a moment. That was a fantastic story/experience. I can only imagine how it would have been in person. That school must change a lot of brake pads and rotors! I did a little circle track (dirt) racing in the 80's and I would love to try my skills on pavement. You did a great job at editing the video too.
Thanks Wyatt appreciate your comment. Out of all my videos this video took the most energy to edit. The school goes through a lot of tires, brakes also but not as much as you would think. Carbon ceramic rotors go a long way. They are awesome. It was an amazing experience! 👍
I can't imagine the overhead of that place having, what, 30- 50 Vettes there!
I would love to get on a track. All my racing has been on the street! Wait ... no ... I'm just joking ... maybe ...😁
Man that looks like a blast!! OK I just added it to the bucket list.
Sold. It's worth it.
Excellent Glen. Thanks. I am heading there in September. Thanks for all the tips.
Your welcome. Have fun and drive safe, you are in for a treat.
Thanks, I'm going Dec 5-6th. Shake & Bake!
You are in for an awesome experience. Have fun!
Another fantastic vlog. Keep them coming. This one was so informative...no doubt you put a lot of work in to this vlog. All your vlogs have Been so professional and I look forward to them....
Glad you enjoyed it. It took a lot of time to produce and I appreciate your comment. -Glen
I appreciate very much you sharing your incredible experience @ Ron Fellows Driving School. Knowledgable
information and NOW look forward to attending a class myself since the purchase of my 2019 ZO6. Blue skies, Jg
You're welcome. Enjoy your car and the Ron Fellows school. -Glen
You guys were driving like a bunch of senior citizens🤣🤣 Great Video Glen.
We need have the fountain of youth over here. lol
Great video! Looks like you had a blast out there. I just order a 2019 G a few weeks back and can't wait to get behind the wheel. This training looks like a must have as well.
You are in for a treat with the GS. Take the class if you can because unless you have previous track experience you won't believe the performance the C7 Corvette delivers. Check out some of my Corvette repair vids if you get time.
They may be useful/educational to you in the future such as proper jacking method and several improvements. Thanks for your comment. -Glen
My brother and I started a Bus service out in Pahrump. Pahrump Transit in 1998 or 99 went belly up. Anyway do you recommend changing the transmission on the 6 way seats or just change the carriage and all . 4 electric motors and a air pump holy cats. 91 corvette
Parhump is a lot more populated now than 20 years ago I bet. I would fix only what was broken on the seat.
how do you take the wires loose from the seat transmission to the electric motors ? I took the hose clamp off the tube their in, but it still seemed to be on there tight. has someone done this? Thanks
Where do those cars top on on the skidpad the way they're setup? It's cool watching the G's on the meter throwing it around those corners!
Well the oval is dry so around 1.25g. On the wet areas it was probably around .8 to 1.
I own a 2016 Camaro 2SS loaded automatic-have 50000 hard miles on it-one thing I see right away-these instructors have you in too high of a gear in every corner period!! They did not teach feathering throttle in corners-but it was good for absolute new people but no where near what these cars can do -thumbs up but too bad there is no video of the instructor driving the car to demonstrate what can be safely done in these engineered marvels
There is footage of a pro driving the car in this video. Watch again.
You have to work it slow and get the line and the smoothness before you add more speed and faster acceleration. Like dropping it down a gear. Better to have control, get the driving, steering breaking acceleration correct thru the turn. I do know some people do not look ahead. PS, I am no race car driver buy I ski race. It does not look easy and sure it takes lots of practice. Not wanting to go off the track. Waiting for my C8 and will take this school when I get my new C8. No way will I use all of what my new C8 can offer but I will be a better driver. Like that I will be able to practice in their C8 as I more than likely will not track my car. Who knows, I could get addicted. I did order it with the Z51 package.
Is that a Earnhardt signature framed picture above your right shoulder? Just wondering.
It is a piece of Corvette history from a C7R raced at LeMans. Here is the video: ruclips.net/video/gpymgJ-8-Ko/видео.html
Ozzstar so cool!
Wyatt needs to get out there and have a blast.
Way cool Glen, looks like a very cool deal.
Awesome video ozz
I appreciate that Antonio.
When I did the instructor driving observation event, he was drinking a cup of coffee and pulling 1.25Gs+ in every turn. That's when I knew the car's limits were WAAAY beyond what I was asking it to do :D
Tons of experience makes anything that much easier. Richey Hearns got in the car with me to demonstrate proper braking. How hard could it be right? It was the technique that he taught me. The 'go fast pedal' was my secret weapon from there on out. lol
Man I want a corvette so badly!🙏
Great video Glen. I went at Ron Fellows last week. You were spot on in your presentation of the experience. I want to go again. What program do you use to edit your PDR display? I always end up with video at the beginning and end of the recording that I'd like to delete before I share it with friends. Thanks for the great channel.
Thanks for the kind words Dean. I use Windows Movie Maker to edit my videos.
I wished I could buy a Corvette, But there's no bank on this planet that would finance me.
Beautiful C4, C5 and C6 generation Vettes are very affordable. Starting at $9K and up.
There is way. Find it!!
You learned well young Jedi, you can come and teach with us now.
That's a huge compliment coming from the master.
1st BOOM
I would have been disappointed if you weren't first. ;-)
awesome glenn! do a vid on street racing then out running the cops!
superspeedersGlen hahaha Actually I'm not bragging but one of the guys in a session I had was a retired cop, he couldn't hang with rookie me. ;-) True story.
@@ozzstars_cars
LOL
2nd bang
Actually first if we don't count Leon. lol
@@ozzstars_cars
Hmmm, LOL
Third KaPow ! 🥉💥
Carbon Ceramics are worth every penny of that money!
They really are on the track, amazing stopping power.
You have to watch the rotors when changing tires. Doesn't take much to chip ceramic and make one an expensive paper weight.
Very true Ed! It can happen fast and be a costly mistake. I made a video on lug extensions that prevents that issue from occurring, not sure if you saw it? ruclips.net/video/xTJTpNQDnCU/видео.html
You guys got turns in your tracks now? Moved on from circle racing 😜😂 look up some Circuit of Ireland Rally that’s real racing man!!!!!
I'm just learning to turn left and right. 😉
