Thanks man. My car is mostly stock, other than the flex fuel sensor, and a spare set of Apex wheels with sticky tires on them. I swapped out the sway bar links for sturdier BMR links, and I have the BMR toe rods as the OEM eccentric toe rods go out of adjustment frequently. That's pretty much it. The car is very capable straight from the factory.

I'm on the list for the ZR1. If it's not too expensive I'll likely pick it up, and I do plan to track it. It'll definitely be a handful. More car than anyone can ever imagine. I'll probably be the only one beating on it.

@@Turbo329 You probably will be, at least for quite a while. It’ll be interesting to see just how much faster it’ll truly be compared to a Z06/Z07 on courses that don’t offer too many opportunities to deploy that power.

No problems at all. Ran great up until I sold it.

Thank you!

Yeah, I wanted to see what I could learn from you before you picked up the pace.

Nice meeting you bro! That last session made the day worthwhile because morning kinda sucked. You guys drove great. Great job pressuring Raf into a mistake! Hahahahaha I love the ZL1-1LE. I can go rip at the track, take my daughter on weekend rides, commute, and take the old lady out for a drink. One day I will have to pony up the cash and get a dedicated race car and flatbed it to the track. We’re really on that type of pace now. Given how capable the ZL1 is from the factory, that thing should have a roll cage.

Thanks!

Which car was yours? The Green one or the Blue one? Those things were nice!

1:34 is moving pretty good. You should be in advanced. You'll pick up time following the faster nut jobs.

@@Turbo329 thx. Blue w/ white stripes. My buddy had the green

@@Turbo329 traffic held us back in intermediate there was a mini and a few others that just didn’t give point by’s. Can’t stand that. If you’re approaching my ass, I let you by, I don’t want anybody tailgating me lol

I'll be there on Labor Day, Sept 2nd. If you want, I'll ask MoE to let you guys in for an Evaluation. I'll vouch for you if you like and we'll have an instructor tail you. Outright speed isn't all that important in Advanced Group. Awareness is the #1 trait we look for.

I had a heavily modded white one (2021) and traded it in September of last year. This one is a 2022 and is stock motor. I changed out small things like sway bar links, toe rods, and added a flex fuel sensor but that's all. I'm faster in this car because I think my driving improved.

@@Turbo329 Nice. What tires were you on (that were done)? Hoosiers? You look pretty fast.

For this season, I've been running Pirelli DH slicks take-offs on the Apex 18" wheels. I've been managing to get 2-3 days out of them.

@@Turbo329 That's all? 2-3 days? Ouch. lol I was down close to 10mph on the front straight yesterday in that heat but managed a new PB despite that. I'm on Pirellis also and I am finally starting to trust them...but mine are close to done as well.

3 days at most. I do one day on the set. Then I swap the rights with the lefts. Then for the 3rd day I flip the tires on the fronts. Mine were corded pretty good yesterday.

Thanks. I'm mulling over the 15th. The forecast is showing that it's supposed to be another scorcher of a day.

Thanks! I know the feeling. My closest friends never seem to want to commit. They're really missing out. Hey, quick question: What camber are you running on your Camaro? I'm at -2.7 in the front and -2.0 in the rear. I'm wondering if I need to go up to around -3.2 in the fronts to get a little more grip in the octopus.

@@Turbo329 as much as suspension clearance will allow. 3.7 F and 3.5 R

my bad! 2.75 R

@@nickyturboboy Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I’m running 2.7 F and 2.0 rear. I definitely need to throw some more camber at it.

Thanks! For some reason, I had my headrest mount unclamped and it was a little more shaky than usual. You're absolutely right, there is stabilization that can settle the vids but I'm not a fan of it because it makes the vids appear slower. I prefer the rattle of the camera because it maintains its element of speed and you can almost feel the turbulence in the cabin. Test my theory...... watch a vid with stabilization, and then come back to watch mine. My vid will appear much faster. I appreciate you watching! Thanks for commenting as well.

@@Turbo329 i have watched a good portion, some people that stabilize and some that don’t. i don’t have a serious preference but i do lightly prefer the stable one. i agree though, shaky cam does make it look faster and is more realistic to how you feel in the car.

@@SuperRespect88 You do make a good point tho. Maybe next time I will mix it up. I do a vid with stabilization and another with it turned off.

@@Turbo329 that’d be sick, i’ll for sure tune in. thanks for talking!

Definitely a good driver

It was crazy fun! Adds a bit of adrenaline to the session. The nice thing about it is that they are very strict about who they allow into the group so once you get there you know you can trust pretty much everyone.

Thanks!

The blind spots in the car are crazy.

It will definitely take some time to wrap my head around getting closer to the curbing.

The season is still young. Plenty of time left!

@@Turbo329 You're absolutely right. I'm currently looking for an enclosed trailer. Well first I'm trying to do an engine and transmission swap so I can make some space.

Thanks man! When are you getting back out there? MoE's back on 7/5 I think.

@@Turbo329 Was supposed to be on track memorial day, but that fell thru, I'm scheduled for Pocono (my 1st time!) 6/24, then back to NJMP maybe 7/15 (can't do 7/5 due to work) Dying to get back on the track!

When will you back with MoE?

@@TheRxsamg Probably Friday, July 5th

Thanks Riz! I have no idea where I'm gonna find 3 more seconds. :D hahahahaha

Slicks?

@@rizahmed3660 Yes, I had slicks in this video. The GT3 RS was on Hoosiers if I recall correctly.

It's pretty flat until things start to heat up. Overall, I think the car works better in the cooler temps.

Thanks man! Honestly, I need to muster some more courage and try this again with all the Traction Control nannies off. Supposedly, even in Race-2 PTM mode it’s still restrictive, and I can honestly feel the hesitation coming off of the corners when the car is not completely straight. With the TC off, I hope to pick up another 1-2 seconds per lap.

@@Turbo329 That’s interesting, especially with how aggressive Race-2 is, that it’s still pulling/managing a bit of power and torque coming out of turns. I don’t doubt that you’ll pick up a solid 2 seconds per lap once you’ve gotten comfortable enough with everything off!

@@danieldickerson4838 Yeah ,it’s true. You might recall that Car and Driver said the same thing in their 2017 ZL1-1LE Lightning Lap article. At first I didn’t notice it, but now that I’m at the fast-er(est) end of the group I can feel it.

@@Turbo329 Ahh yep, I do remember seeing that in their VIR video. PTM is so good that it’s almost *too* good when you’re an advanced driver.

It was definitely a fun session and I was running a mix of E85 so it probably landed around E40. I got right up on his bumper a couple of times and I knew he would punch it when the road straightened up. In all fairness, I do the same thing before I give a wave by. If I put distance between us and you close it down, I'm giving you the point by. My passenger got nervous a couple of times when we closed up on him. By the time I got up to the Z06 towards the end of the vid, my brake pads started to fade. So I waved him back around on the lap that I pitted. I think for me this was the best session of the day.

@Turbo329 always fun to watch! From the 7x7r to this, thank you for the views.

@@thomasmartinez3791 Thanks brother!

Yeah. That was the last session coming off of NASCAR Turn 3. It was my first time running it so I was actually taking it easy.

@@Turbo329 Nice, lot of power in that car. I didn't bother running with the pace car in group B. I don't think my car has much over 160 in it with the current gearing.

You'd be surprised. Get a good drive onto the straight and catch the draft from the car in front of you, and you could potentially see another 10mph up top.

Thanks for the kind words. Honestly, for the engine cases I used degreaser and a pressure washer if I recall correctly.

Sounds like it could be a vacuum issue somewhere. I’d take it back to Travis and have him take another look.

@@Turbo329 thank you

@@Turbo329 when it idles its doing a idle hunt the other issue I think is fuel if idling and then rev’d and release throttle rpm drop and stalls I’m going have him remote in when I get it in dyno im in NY Thanks again have a great holiday weekend

Mine is a 2005 F4-1000S

That always helps

Not really. I just happened to have the iPhone on during this session.

I'm not sure yet. I went back yesterday to run the 3Rs but the track was ice cold and I couldn't get heat into them. I drove terribly as a result. In the morning it was sunny but only 40*F. In the afternoon it was 50*F but overcast so the track actually got worse in spite of the higher ambient temp. At some point later this season I will head back with both sets of wheels and do a comparison on the same day. When I ran that 1:26 lap I actually didn't go thru turns 1 & 3 as fast as I normally can. I believe I can probably clock a high 1:24 when I'm all dialed in with clear track. I will say this though...... Although the track is grippier, the stiff ZLE suspension works better now because of the smooth surface without bumps. I was able to get the power down all through the 2nd half of the track where I was weak in the past. It's now honestly time to start thinking about a custom full cage. 1:19 - 1:26 range is Trans Am race times.

@@Turbo329 yea I can imagine the smoother track helps, I need to get back there and try it for myself. Yea I’m sure a 1.24 is possible based off other cars times on slick scrubs.

@@landis_carz5424 You'll definitely be quicker. Especially with the A10.

@@Turbo329 if I had the a10 maybe. Manual all day 😄

Which org do you usually drive with?

You guys were animals out there. :D

These were problem free for the most part.
