ZL1 and Turns

[KKM]

What will it take to get the 2015 ZL1 to be the best it can be in the high speed turns ? I don't have one yet , but from what I have seen it can use some help. Looking for a fun car that will keep me interest. Looking at 4-6 track days per year plus high speed touring in the western mountains.

Either you are a troll or you have ZL1 mixed up with another car.

I think you have the ZL1 confused with the GT500....

He may just be stonato (stunad), as my Granny used to say.

Come on guys. This is an honest question. No BS. Are you telling me that the ZL1 can not be improved in the suspension area. For track days nothing needs to be changed ? I just would like to know what I am getting into.
PS, I like the comment about the GT500.

Any car can be improved, but you said "help", which implies weakness. It doesn't need help anymore than any car on the top 100 Ring times does.
GM did a great job combining a daily driver and a track star. If you want better, look at the Z/28, Z06, ZR1.

Dude it will handle a lot more than you are capable of managing.. Sure hope there are no swimming pools around when you go to prove me wrong..

Here are some comparison times which shows that the ZL1's amazing time is squarely in supercar territory!

VIR I might take a few days there next year. Lap the car around the track a few times.

Damm that Nurburg track sure looks like fun. To tell you the truth I would rather be on my Aprilia if I was there. Was the 7:41 time done with a show room car or was it race prepped ?
Trolls only drive Fords. I would not be caught dead in one.

As per Chevy their cars are raced stock. I think they add a roll cage though to protect the driver.
