This car is incredible

Finally got my 1LE to the track
Bone stock, did not even change brake fluid. And the tires are not fresh at all. The brakes and tires held and stayed consistent. I pitted briefly to adjust tire pressure. I am so happy with this car...

I also got to drive a ZL1-1LE which was epic, and ride along in a AMG GTR, and a GT3RS. All very different rides.

I know - I missed one shift, blew a few corner entries, could have hit the brakes later and stayed on the gas longer, but give me a break...those things come with practice!

At least I was smart enough to buy one

Congratulations on your car!
Having the opportunity to take your car to the track to see what it’s capable of is what I call a fun day!

These are really incredible cars for the money. Do yourself a favor. Don’t mess around with brake fluid. Change it out for high temperature fluid. As you push the car harder, and subsequently use more brake, you’ll need it. It’s not something that you want to experience, realizing that you need it during an event.

I think I order 3 bottles. I used more than 2 but less than 3. I usually change it every season.

Stock pads are great. They'll be fine for how ever many track days you end up going to.

Get 3 bottles to be safe. I used Motul 660. Ready to go for next season as soon as the weather breaks.

Stock pads are adequate for awhile, I did 9 days on stock pads this year.
