Completely agree. Hard to argue with their consistency on the track, which is why I bought this car.

There are a lot of good comments in here and I'm basically going to echo many of them. I've run these GYs on a road course and on autocross. For the abuse I put them through in both of those...

If you got it mid March 2017 the there's a good chance it's in that window. That's a pretty early car. The process to check it is somewhat extensive. You have to get the trans temp up and then check....

Manual says don't drove below 40F. Having driven a few times in the 50s I frankly wouldn't do anything less than 50 on these tires. Not only do to risk damage to the tires you compromise traction. If...

There was a TSB for trans overfill and one saying that the track level mention in the manual was an error. Check you car's build date and you may not need to do anything.

There are two small rubber air deflectors that are installed on the leading edge of the lower front lip. I'm assuming that's what they're talking about. However, there's some confusion because of the...

The water deflector is attached to the underside of the hood. It attaches with a few screws and allow more airflow through the opening in the hood.

The dealer should be able to pull the maintenance records for you (assuming they were done at a GM dealer). That should at least give you some idea of what services were done on it. You can never...

The 17xxxx doesn't mean 2017. That would mean they could only make 9,999 cars at a given plant before running out of VINs. That's just the sequence number according to the plant. There are other...

Actually, I don't think you can even tell that from your VIN. The plant produces several different vehicles. You'd need to know the VIN of the very first 2017 vehicle to come out of the plant in...

Definitely worth a check. The trans has to be brought up to temp and then checked hot. There were a couple instances of cars on tracks having issues due to this. If you never push your car you'd...

The first A10s off the line were in the range of 186xxx. Cars built a month later were in the 192xxx range. So I would say roughly your car was built in late March or early April.

Pretty much the same situation here. 3 track days, 2 autocross days and ~4,000 miles. So far I'm very happy with it. Early ones had the overfill potential from the factory, but that's all been...

We don't know the exact sequencing, but we the first cars that were built. Generally you can tell when you line up from those. What's your VIN?

There were CTF cars that were produced before the actual first week of production. Some end up being put up for sale. So yes, there are cars before the ones produced the week of 2/6.

M6s started production before the A10s. First week of production for the A10s was 2/6/17 and the first VIN was somewhere around 18602x. So any 2017 M6 produced before 2/6 would have a lower VIN...

Very curious to see if anyone can offer up driving experiences with and without the brace. Meaning, on the ZL1, how much of a difference does this actually make?
