Probably somethings like: 1- Complete the 24 hours test within the 2% rule 2- Validate new setup from previous outing at the ring 3- Extract data for fine tuning before release date 4- Out performs the ZL1. 5- Set the best lap possible. Yes It can be faster, isn't that the beauty of it all ?

GENERAL MOTORS DOES NOT OWN THE 'RING The 'Ring is a commercial effort, that has a schedule of commitments to others. Do you think that if Porsche had rented the track, the following day (for instance), they would simply say, "Oh, it's very important to GM that they get an optimal time for the Z/28, so we'll just send all our vehicles, engineers and technicians home and give them the day off!" Schedules. Commitments. The REAL World!!! It rained, so it must be Mother Nature's fault. Maybe She drives a Mustang. |

There will be other tracks, comparisons, etc. All probably in the sun. Bottom line; it's awesome just as I knew it would be!

Let me be the first to apparently mention this:
The heart of the Z/28 is the 7.0L LS7 engine. The LS7 uses lightweight, racing-proven, high-performance components, such as titanium intake valves and connecting rods, CNC-ported aluminum cylinder heads and a forged-steel crankshaft to help produce an SAE-certified 505 horsepower (376 kW) and 481 lb-ft of torque (652 Nm). That's 11 lb-ft improvement over the Corvette's version of the LS7 (rate 470)and, packaged in a 600+ pound heavier car, I'll thank Powertrain for finding that. That is very important for this car and it's intended usage, and far more significant than a few more horses... |

Having paid to drive there myself I'm quite aware of that. If a large auto manufacturer asks track management to find a couple of hours of track time some time in the next couple of weeks they don't say no. Instead they find a couple of hours and charge extra for the short notice. |

I said it in the other thread the Tri-Y's and of course the tune differences that come because of them made up the difference. This alone makes me want Pfadt LT's. I hate how the LS3 stops gaining TQ when the HP numbers go up. How is it the factory is basically 425/425 (370/370 at the tires in my case) and then you start with cam swaps etc and they will put down 500/470 at the tires? I want TQ and I want to just basically add 150/150 to the tires to my car. |
