A real impressive car that just seems to be getting better with every test.
Now imagine what it would take to be even faster on the track.

Then, they fiddled with the tire pressures, and took nearly a second off the automatic's time, again.
If you watch the video real close, for whatever reason the A10 car wasn't holding as much speed through the bends, which didn't make a ton of sense.
But no matter how you cut it - yes, the car is wickedly good!!

Now on the road course, a set of Trofeo or Cup tires on a light weight set of wheels, bump the brakes to CF, add the aero, pull the power seats and use a lighter weight cloth manual type, rear seat delete, factory installed harness bar with six points (maybe we save a net of 50 pounds or so?) and we have a Z/28 or a ZL1.R?

Re: top speed...apparently all that needed to be done was set camber on all corners to 0...and overinflate the tires. Seems like you could fart in front of the thing and average over 200!!
Then on the track...I'd settle to see Trofeos/Cups w/ CCM brakes and aero....that should pull another second or two off those times, which would put it ahead of the Z06 (featuring similar equipment)!!!!
Damn that's a fast car, right there.
