I agree, Auto-X is some of the most affordable fun one can have behind the wheel Quote:
Thanks for the kind words Xavier! Can't wait to get both our cars out there at the same time to compare! Btw, to you guys asking about my wheels this guy is the gentlemen who is running them now Quote:

A secret compound I developed in my basement using sand, shards of glass, asbestos and a little salt & pepper... J/k, I am running Hawk DTC-30's in the front, and HP+ in the rear, Will probably be stepping up to 60's in the front and 30's in the rear for the road course though. I will know after some testing!

Thanks Sammy! See my post above about the brakes Quote:
We have tons of mods coming for the car, but we will be doing it in stages to show the benefit of each package and modification. The same goes for both power mods as well as suspension mods. Everything will be logged to show what actually works, and what doesn't. Regarding maintenance a simple oil change and rear diff fluid change was all that was needed. I reached 1500 miles rolling back into FL so it was just on time. I usually change my oil after every track day and maybe every 2 auto-x events. It is a cheap insurance to make sure you motor is running healthy and for a long time! Put it this way, fluids are cheap, engine and rear end parts are not /Erik |

Great job Erik!
I was there watching you. There were some fast 69's there also but you had them. I was really impressed how the ZL1 handled. Not taking anything away from the excellent driving, you were kicking ass. Just curious what was your fastest time? |

Congrats!
I would expect no less from a driver of your capability! You drive the zl1 like it should be! |

Congrats! The ZL1 is a great car right of the box, as we all know. It seems most of the focus in this thread has been around the auto-x performance, but how did you stack up in the brake stop and drag racing parts of the triathlon? Were you able to get into the 11's?

Haha I OBLITERATED the others in the brake stop challenge, I totally forgot to post that! I stopped almost 10ft shorter than anyone else, even with "smaller" brakes and less surface area on the front tires. My brake pads I put on for sure helped! Wouldn't even mention the 1/4 mile times As good as I might be at the road course and Auto-X, I am equally poor at heading down the 1320... I think 12.8 was my best time but I hit the revlimiter in every gear, I am so used to shifting at 7200 and not at 6000rpm! But I am heading to the track for some practice runs and to learn how to drive this bad boy tonight and on Friday. I need to tighten up the nut behind the steering wheel |
