I did the Ron Fellows School at Spring Mountain in August 2021. Really good overall C8 program for drivers of all abilities. Most instructors were really good. Lot's of fun, very professionally run and although not quite enough track time for me (I track my cars regularly) it was still...
Anyone tracking the car and looked at removal of the parking brake for track days? I think it is about 6 lbs each (unsprung weight) and if they are a simple electrical connection and a couple of bolts, it will be coming off at the same time as I install the rear brake ducts and change tires...
I gotta figure GM could get something as simple as this right. In terms of brake pads, I think I will wait until Pagid, PFC, Hawk, Raybestos bring their high performance pads out before I commit. Stock pads until then.
I like the 888R's. Great track tire though I am not as comfortable in the wet with the 888R's as the Cup 2's. When the Cup 2's still have adequate tread left they actually have great grip in the wet, provided the water is not ponding. In terms of tire wear on the Cup 2's, I don't think that...
Congrats on the car......hope it arrives sometime before the snow flies. Suggest that you track once with the stock tires and then you will have a baseline to compare any changes. I think you will find the difference "transformational" when you lose about 10 lbs per corner. Even just getting...
Saw this video. Not normal to have tires gone after three sessions. Somethings not right. Sport Cups don't go away that quickly. After getting my Cayman S set up, I was able to get about 2000 track kms. on a set. Going a bit easy on them first session or two helps or if I can, I drive them...
Thanks. Calabogie is really tough on tires. I will run mostly at Mosport (CTMP) but not averse to doing a Calabogie/Tremblant double header. Don't want to drop the car much.....maybe 1/2 inch as I will still want to drive on the street. Will see where it sits when the camber gets dialed in...
I am planning to track my Z51 with mag ride if/when my car eventually arrives. If my info is correct, the curb weight of a 1LT with Z51, with a full tank of gas is 3577 lbs. If I run with 1/2 a tank of gas, weight will drop to 3519 lbs. Existing Front Rims are 25.7 lbs. and the run flat...
