Off topic, but a new stable mate for the GLC.

Just picked up. This is my new daily driver. She pulls HARD like no car I've ever driven when she begins to build boost. Don't speed, don't speed......

I know, I know, it's not a fine German car but it's more affordable than a comparable Porsche.

Not a fine German car...a fine American car.

One can buy two Corvettes for the cost of one Porsche.

Good use of your hard earned $$$.

Are you going to drive this on tracks? Wondering how the 2017 Z06s with the improved engine cooling fair when tracked.

Probably no tracking. Can't afford that and it's my daily driver.

Very fast car, I'm sure. I still would have splurged for a GTS. Best of luck to you and be safe.

Daily driver? A bit overkill for a DD I think

Someone who works next door has one. The exhaust sound is nice.

No more overkill than many of the high Horsepower expensive grocery getters driving around. ; )

Haha, I'm sure yours is one of the more(if not most) extreme "grocery getters"

I do go to the grocery store every now and then but normally that is what the SUV's (GLC) are for.

It is indeed a little over the edge. But at $73K ($86K sticker) it's a lot of bang for the buck. ; )
