Tires are very important but I think a lot of people are only focusing on what they want to.
This to me is much more important than just tires....
“We used the very best components in the industry to deliver uncompromised
performance, lap after lap,” said Mark Stielow, Camaro Z/28 engineering manager. “
We made nearly 200 changes to improve the track performance, which cumulatively make the
Z/28 capable of 1.05 g in cornering. For perspective, with all other things, equal increasing maximum grip from 1 to 1.05 g can cut up to four seconds per lap.”
The
Camaro Z/28 is the one of the first production cars fitted with race-proven, spool-valve dampers. Compared to a conventional damper that offers only two-way tuning for bump and rebound, a spool-valve damper allows four-way adjustment to precisely tune both bump and rebound settings for high-speed and low-speed wheel motions. The wider tuning range allowed engineers to dramatically increase the damper stiffness on the Camaro Z/28 without a significant change in ride quality. Additional chassis changes include stiffer string rates and suspension bushings for improved cornering response.
