Van took his Tuned GT500 to Sebring.

His review

This car is awesome!!

2.29.339 on street tires and stock brake pads and lines. All I did was change the fluid to Brembo LCF 600, resonator delete and a tune from Jon Lund. If anybody wants to know, Catalytic Converter Temperature Protection is Active.

Went to post Time Trial Compound and got put on the scales.

Less than a quarter tank of fuel (42 miles to empty) race weight with driver....3,993 lbs and I weigh 180.

Comparison Data:
Running with a couple of Corvette buddies of mine both on Hoosiers with Pfadt Coilovers. Z06 built motor, (race car) 2.24.874 / ZR1 with tune and Coilovers 2.27.226

I'm running the factory tires!!!!! 20's out back and 19's up front!!!

All things considered I am extremely impressed with the performance of this car.

I am blown away. I was hoping for a 2.35 as a possible best.

For comparo purposes my previous personal best in my 2007 with an iron block was 2.26 with a Griggs ST chassis and Hoosier R6's. I have not been back to Sebring as of yet with my Griggs TT Chassis and aluminum built motor and KB 3.6.

Question about the ZR1

That was a typo. I was excited about the lap time. The ZR1 has some mods but no coilovers. Duh. Oops! LOL

"Van took his Tuned GT500 to Sebring. Evidently this GT500 mostly stock destroyed his highly modified 07 GT500 pb time".

What exactly is mostly stock, either it was stock or modified.

That car is a beast! Both the GM and the Ford should have a great time passing the trophy back and forth in any Sunday.

Just like the title says....tuned 13 GT500 running running 98 oct. It had oem brakes and brake pads, oem wheels and tires, and complete oem suspension.

While his pb in his 07 GT500 had about $10k worth of suspension components!

How did he destroy his modified 2007 GT500 time when it says he ran a 2:26 in the 2007, but ran a 2:29 in the 2013 GT500? Am I missing something?

You are right. My fault. I read, was hoping for 2.35 a personal best. I looked up the suspension and its the base complete system from griggs including the sla front suspension, 8k for the kit itself. Van did run a 2.26 with the iron block 07 with griggs suspension and slicks.
