It will be Touristfahrten for all 3 days, with all that that entails. Having said that two days are weekdays and it's very late in the season so I'm hoping the track is fairly quiet compared to TF in peak summer. I'll try to post updates here and on Instagram whenever I get a chance ☺️

Wish me luck 🤞🏼

Best wishes... travel safe. I did 2150 mi. in ours in Sept. over 7 days. Comfortable car for travel, suprisingly

Looks like you ran the cups. How were they. They were great on the C6 ZR1

Love the vintage Z/28 font.
Car looks killer.

It does look good on the ring doesn't it. Like it was meant to be there. Pat has created a vintage masterpiece with his car

Awesome trip Pat! Car looks/sounds amazing, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for all the pic and vids Hope all goes well at the final trackday. Sounds pretty sad for those involved. You did catch some air on your rear drivers. We do by the way have a flying car mode on our Zs Lol. Running the ring and averaging well over a hundred miles an hour, you said it right, It's a real man's track It's totally focused heads up all the way. If only you had it all to yourself for 1hot lap. Ok maybe 2. Again , enjoy seeing your videos . Because you've done so much to your car since the day it arrived that it really makes it kinda special. Again, thanks pat.

Obligatory Karussell pic - Splitter ride height is perfect for the 'Ring now as I didn't get any rubbing other than the rubber deflectors in front of the wheels, but as you can see it couldn't be any lower!!

Also an interesting same-day, same-corner, same photographer comparison with a ZL1 1LE. It's a shame I couldn't find the owner to speak to or follow for a lap - that would have been very interesting!

Looks wise - I think i prefer mine now I have the dive planes , although I do like the grills on the 6th gen 1LE! What do ya'll think? 🤔

MrRaZ28 · 11-20-2018, 03:03 PM

Man.. the g-forces in that picture are amazing to see.

I like how the bodyroll is almost identical between you and the 1LE. Pays to test your suspension setup on a small batch before mass producing, eh GM? haha. LOVE IT Pat.

Gbland60 · 11-21-2018, 03:53 PM

Yeah if it could have been possible without messing up the looks they could have gave us a little bit more of a grill for that LS7 to hydrate. I have to say that Z28 sticker across the front of your windshield really makes your car look angry from the front view. Love it so how were the kidneys going around the carousel LOL
