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! |
Man that's cooking, were the Porsches all bone stock other than the tires? Impressive. I'm still getting to know the track but can't wait to return. You've now set a new bar for me to aim for
I looked up Thunderhill on Fastlaps and if it weren't for the R6's your friends would take the production car record (if in fact Fastlaps is current, which it may not be).
My Viper is definitely difficult if the rear end comes loose, harder to save than my Camaro. But it is such an awesome car with very high limits. A very rewarding driving experience. Mines' a 2013, so it's easier to track than previous gens, and it finally has a safety net - ESC.
I'll tell them you said hello, and hopefully we'll meet up one day.
