The C5 corvette came to me stock. Painfully stock, as in still had a tape deck in it stock. A lot of basics had to go or be sorted out to improve the drive quality in general. The following is a rolling list of upgrades and noteworthy maintenance that has been done to the car.

After my first track day, I knew that seats were next in order to upgrade The OEM seat on the drivers side had collapsed on one side and the seats and belts did not keep me in place. I was using my core to significant excess to stay in place along with whatever area of my body I could make contact with the interior and press against. It was tiring, it did not lend itself to positive car feel and in general wasn't ideal.

NOTE: This is a work in progress. Some measurements may not be entirely correct. Some upgrades I've not captured in here. I'll update it all when I've completed researching. In the mean time, please do contact me if you've got any other suggestions!

As luck would have it, the same river I'd gotten to run the boat on first came in again with even more water. this opened up the opportunity for me to go higher on the river and run through a pretty fun class 4 rapid, called "Big Eddy". This would be a good chance to test this boat in some interesting water, while also running the same section as the week before with significantly more water in it.

I picked up my brand spanking new Yellow Jackson Kayak Zen 3.0 from Next Adventure, and right away the skepticism began. The shop employees and even myself had our doubts. Look at that big rocker with a big fat flat planing surface, won't that just push water? Why does it look like a diesel in the rear? Dear god this is a huge boat. Myself and the others all had our doubts, but shop talk rarely translates to how a boat actually handles on the water, so onward I went.
