I've only run Thunderhill those two times, both times were over the top. I'm guessing the Z/28 would be under 2:10 with a good driver, maybe closer to 2:05, but I don't think it could dip below 2:00. That would really flying on that track for a stock car. Can't wait to get back there! Do you track there now, and if so what do you drive and what are your times?
Yes David's a great guy. In fact, I'm going to the HOD 10th Anniversary Party this Saturday.

Viper, wow, bold brave man you are
What a handful.
My last time there was two years ago in a GT3RS on Trofeos. My best, and I am not a fast guy at that track was 2:01. My pals in GT3's on R6's run 1:57/1:58 and they are good drivers. I think the downforce of the Z helps it there, and in combo with the fat torque combined with the traction control to launch it out of the corners will put it under 2:00 bone stock.
Reno-Fernley is my home track and I am relatively quick there (know it very well). So that's going to be my touchstone comparison for the Z vs other cars I've driven.
Fast sweepers (Thunderhill) the Z should be quite quick. Transitions and more technical tracks (Reno-Fernley) is where I am concerned the weight will hurt. But I'm open minded. Regardless, listening to that 427 soundtrack and looking at that pretty body will be worth every penny
If you think to, tell David and Don that Pete said hello and I'll see them in the spring. I got the email invite to the party, looks awesome!
