I was fortunate to win the TT2 class during the NASA SE Time Trial at Carolina Motorsports Park two weeks ago.
THAT looked to be a lot of fun. As always, your ZL1 runs well! Nice driving, too!
Congrats! Thanks for sharing the video. Looks like fun. My last track day there were two guys in ZL1 1LEs in my group that were flying! My stroker C5 had nothing for them on the straights. I'm just getting into big track events from Autocross with my car.
Do you ever regret not having a manual?
GM needs to do that as a swansong and then it destroys the GT500, that would be pretty bad ass. I'm more of a GT500 fan, but should GM do this, Ford would need to answer back (yea right), with a GT500R. A lighter, road course focused GT500.Thanks Cobrabob!
RacerX,
The A10 auto is faster, but the M6 is more engaging. I leave it in drive, since the up and downshifts happen so frequently (I would be doing nothing but hitting paddles). The transmission can overheat during long sessions on hot days, but I've done a few things to minimize the temp. If the 2024 Camaro comes out with the LT5, then I'll consider getting a ZL1 1LE with a M6. That would be the ultimate 6th Gen Camaro and one of the greatest of all time.
That video was kind of busy, I ended up just ignoring your portion lol.Here is an interesting lap comparison of me compared to a amateur driving in a Hendrick Track Attack compared to a pro-driver in a Hendrick Track Attack.
Makes sense. We have a professional driver who comes out and helps some of the guys on practice days. I think he is usually 1.5 seconds faster in their own cars on slightly longer laps. One of them was less than .5 of him and was pretty proud about it.I know it is information overload, especially on a smart phone. He's an advanced driver.
One of our instructors is a Porsche hall of fame driver, won the PWC series, Indy lites, road to Indy blah blah blah. And one of the members at A27 bought his championship winning cup car. Guy is in his 60's... After a couple weeks of training ended up throwing down a faster lap than him... Pretty cool I thought. No prior racing historyMakes sense.

20 minutes is a long session and you would need to set very low cold starting pressures to not go over after 15 minutes. The Goodyear 3R tires are best 34-36 psi hot. They start to drop off in grip around 37-38 psi. They are done at 39-40 psi and start to overheat.I rode with a comp guy at Sonoma in his 2018 ZL1-1LE and it was incredible with massive acceleration and hard braking. But interestingly, it couldn't keep going the whole 20 minutes, slightly ran off the track at one point and he blamed hot tires. IDK if he was pushing too hard or not being my first time in one. I also noticed the AT having a hard time on the straights, but my idea of "hard time" could be just an aggressive shift and normal.
