All day it felt like I was driving 2 different cars at the same time. Front was constantly pushing with tires squealing and back was constantly planted and I never had to adjust my driving due to the rear.



These cars are made to push, my ZL1 was a snow plow on track. I put a Detroit Speed adjustable rear swaybar on the car and it is much better balanced now. Leave the tires alone, more camber in the front will help front grip along with a bigger rear bar will balance the car.


Look at track pads and good high temp fluid if you haven't already. Buy the cheapest tires you can find for track duty, it's all you need for tires at this point.
