Lol it's real life

Lol the graphics are amazing 😏

Sleeping or below average I think. It was only the first green lap but sloppy lines then the point by at the end of the straight was odd (wrong side).

C8 can hit 155 at Road Atlanta back straight.

Sure - where can I email it to you

Thanks. Preparation included: Getting the transmission oil topped up per Chevy instructions, track alignment per Chevy instructions, Carbotech brake pads (XP12 for on track, which I swap back to 1521's for low dust street use - I don't get surface layer issues swapping back and forth. Had this issue before when swapping brands). The car goes great on the standard Michelin PS4's. I'm amazed at the performance and durability on track. I'll be replacing with Pilot Sport Cup 2's though for the coming season.

It helps. You are probably also becoming a better driver too. Don't credit everything to the car.

I'm sold on doing the track alignment but you may not value it for various reasons. The reason I go for the track alignment is partly because of the learning experience i had with my 2016 Camaro SS. I drove this with and without track alignment and kept pushing as I gained experience. I came out of that with a better appreciation of what the tire footprint is doing and how the vehicle dynamics change. I realize the dynamics of the Corvette are somewhat different but the same concepts apply. So from the beginning I was confident that the track alignment would give me more performance and that I would detect and decide if it was too much camber or not. After 10 track days I feel it is right for me. In contrast to this, a person with less or no track time might not actually find any value at all. I would save the cost of the alignment, get some experience and change it after doing enough to get into intermediate group. The main reason is that there is so much to learn before camber becomes a concern. I didn't find the Corvette suffering from understeer on the road like several journalists talked about, so I'm sure it will do just fine on the track without the track alignment, up to a point. The chevrolet dealer near me quoted a lot to get a track alignment so I took it to a shop that does track set ups and they found that it is a difficult and time consuming job to do the alignment. I'll need to look it up but from memory it was about $400 and they should have probably charged more.

@@mattevans2003 : It's time to get the alignment for me . I run intermediate in 3 different groups SCDA , NASA, ERMA . I know this will help shave a few seconds out of a lap . The problem I am having is finding a shop that can do it ? seems like they will need a couple of tools - a digital angle adapter & alignment adapter mounting pins . I do understand it's easily a 400.00 job if not more . Did you get your done in NC ?

Your excessive front tire wear is likely from not enough negative camber. I too have a 2020 C8 Z51 with Cup 2s and Hawk DCT60s and my best at WGI is 2:10.3 . You'll need negative 3.5 camber in the front (this exceeds the factory spec because the Cup 2 is stickier) in the front and negative 2 in the rear. Your front toe should be 0.10 degree positive (toe-in, NOT TOE-OUT). The rear caster needs to be adjusted to 0 degrees. All the best! Joe

@@okaythen001 Try it in a controlled environment - A parking lot would do, preferably when it's wet. On a slippery skid pad like environment you can invoke the interventions and learn more. Try different modes to compare what the car does. The challenge with experimenting on the street is that normally the car has a lot of grip and inducing the PTM actions is only going to happen at some very stupid speeds. I think many people will get overloaded with other problems even before you can sense and learn from what the traction management is doing. i.e. narrow lanes, uneven road surface, potential for vehicles/people/animals to be in your path unexpectedly. PTM is not going to save you from all the challenges you may run into but it will hopefully help. The machine gun noise you refer to sounds like rev limiter rather than PTM. When the power is reduced for PTM purposes it doesn't do that and that sound certainly wouldn't come from PTM brake applications.

Originally I thought that might be a good idea (prior to setting it up with the Chevy track camber). After doing a few track days at different tracks (with the recommended camber), I found it performed well and I believe the concern about inside edge tire wear is not that big a deal for the cycle of road and track driving that I'm doing. I've done about 8000 miles with 4 weekends of track days and the outside edge of the front tires is the first part to wear down. Of course if you aren't doing track days for a long time it's possibly worth going back to standard camber. I'm more likely to continue doing a 6-10 track days or or more per season and a moderate amount of street driving so I doubt I'll change it back. Street driving is using the inside edges at a slow rate of wear and just helps equalize out the tread wear. People exaggerate how bad it could be for wearing inside edges, but that means they probably aren't aggressively using the tires on a track - track use is far more significant tread wear. If there was less camber it may work well enough but based on my experience it looks like it could have a higher rate of tread wear at the outside edges with less camber... so potentially less performance and the tires would wear out quicker.

It has the Chevy recommended track alignment. I have found it works great. Very balanced or perhaps a little oversteer depending on my inputs. e.g. trail braking into corners a little late and you can induce some oversteer (but what car doesn't do that...) and very rarely like in this video at the 8min mark I've had the rear slide a bit under hard acceleration out of a slippery corner.

It's a standard part of one of the PDR overlay choices. Either Timing or Track. So go into the PDR stuff via the nav screen then look at the settings available.

@@mattevans2003 Thanks for the info. I used to track my Porsche at most of the local tracks here in So Cal, especially Willow Springs Raceway, but it's been years. Initially, I guess I'll add the 2 quarts of DCT, track alignment, perhaps as you mentioned better brake fluid too. Are you running your stock Z51 suspension had it lowered? Thanks for the tips....

@@craigwarner949 My suspension works great standard. It's the mag ride so track mode is firm, without much roll. Standard wheels and tires too at this point. Only significant upgrade is brakes, brake fluid and brake pads.

​@@mattevans2003 Thanks. Keep posting your track videos. The only other person I've seen tracking their C8 is Speed Phenom and he uses GoPro in-car camera. But love your PDR view since it shows much more drivers info such as lap times, MPH, shift points, etc.

+Greg Blanchard Yoshimura full exhaust is the only performance improvement. Other than that, rear sets, sliders and track bodywork.

+HydeMyJekyll Check this later video with overlaid gauges on the same bike at the same track. ruclips.net/video/48B_WeICOts/видео.html In Turn 5 I do 65-70mph based on GPS measured speed which is less than the indicated speed on the bike (= more like 80mph but I shouldn't be looking at that...). There is a big difference in speedometer verses GPS measured speed due to the diameter of the tire being so much less once the bike is leaned over. Lap times and my lines in July were better with many 1:35s :-) Always learning.

+xisotopex Yep. Not pretty, but no riding on the grass at least :-)

+Matt Evans I have done some accidental off road at VIR
