Not saying he's not a nice guy or generous but it's just another car in the fleet for him and he's looking for ways to make even more money off it.

      @Texas Outlaw Which sort of nailed it for me on why I didn't like that new c8. Besides a pretty boring looking drive as the car / computer does all the work, gotta jump through hoops to have the car allow you to do what you want. There is hope they remove all that gatekeeper rubbish and fully replace the systems with one where they tell the car what they want to do.

It's like they want the c8 to be only owned by old guys going to cars and coffee.

      That shows you the difference. Cleet is a actual racer and a decent tuner in his own right. He understands the limitations and what it takes to go fast RELIABLY. He has two cars that can do sub 8 with out too many issues. He knows who to call ( Kevin for Holley / Jeremy for HP tuners) for tuning and who to talk to about engines and transmissions. I am pretty sure there was a lot of conversations about this and the consensus was not to push it. Streetspeed was lucky. But he will sell the car in a month and be on to something new. Emelia Hartford is hamfisted like whistling diesel. They don't care about the vehicles. They are only in it for the views and the money. They both go thru vehicles very fast. Cleet has had Leroy for years. Ruby for a while. And vehicles leave but don't go far. When he changes his mind on something he just changes the vehicle and does not throw it out .
