yeah, I bought it from him.

you should check out my 1:34.3 lap. Basically tied with ZL1 1LE with the same tire and ZL1 has more aero and power. ruclips.net/video/HZGhxnVhxe8/видео.html

R8 squeals at low temp for me. The bite doesn't really come on until you smashing the brake pedal so it's hard to modulate. I'll probably use more aggressive pads like R16 in the future.

they did overheat a little bit near the end and pace dropped about 1 to 2s. It was very good weather until afternoon, track condition degraded quite a bit and I was easily 3 seconds off from morning session.

Thanks! tire wear is actually pretty even on this platform thanks to double wishbone front and rear and somewhat lighter weight. No excessive shoulder or inside wear like the SS 1LE.

The car came with Forgeline gs1r in 19x9.5 and unknown offset. Apex has the front in 19x9 ET36 VS-5RS that should fit. You can check with them directly since they have all the BBK cad files available. apexwheels.com/vehicles/chevrolet/corvette/c8-stingray-z51#construction=forged&design=vs-5rs&finish=anthracite&frontQty=2&frontSize=19x9-et36&rearQty=2&rearSize=19x115-et48

Oh that makes sense, thank you! I'll check with Apex for their options

@@mcbat8 If you happen to be thinking about selling your front Forgeline gs1r to make your setup APEX front/rear, please let me know! I'll very happily install it onto my C8 since it will have the same BBK. Located here in the Bay Area too :DD

@@jeff-uk7uw I'll be looking to sell the full front and rear. Ping me through Instagram chat if that's what you're looking for @mcbat8

I got about 4 days before the rear looks like they only have 1 day left. Front still has 2 days or 3 days more.

Will try my best!

It added a full second lol it seems like I didn't smash the brake hard enough as there was barely any dive in the front compare to other brake zones.

Lol, graveyard of PB and hopes and dreams.

C8 replaced SS 1LE

Z51 package. Goodyear SC3

Thats probably me lol. Link?

Most driver mention laptime is better in D. It didn't get in the way so I left it as it is.

Yeah, I tried both his prototype as well as a short arm Ram mount and both gave stable videos.

Is it with mag ride or without?

Yeah I love how direct and fast the front end is. Very similar to the BRZ, except I got a 800lb powertrain in the back now.

It's good! Shifts lighting fast and doesn't get in the way.

I was surprised to see it in Drive. It didn't look like it slowed you down at all, pretty cool.

Thanks! It definitely keeps me on my toes.

Lots of time left. First day in MR platform and damper isn't really giving me confidence yet. Yes, z51

Not quite yet, that would be a Z06!

There are some Chademo charging around 10 mins from the track. They have Supercharger at the track now and should be enabled within this year.

Got it, looks like there's an EA station as well. Do you know if the onsite L2 charger works? I'm considering a track event out there next month and want to figure out the logistics before I get there!

@@alex_tanaka I've seen people use the onsite L2 chargers

@@mcbat8 Awesome, can't wait to be there!

I use the supercharger that's 12 mins away between each session

I see.. I hope Sonoma gets a supercharger one day

yeah, it was a weird day for sure. I pointed you by at the out lap thinking you're just going to do 1 or 2 laps and leave while I warm up the tires. But it seems like grip wasn't all there due to bunch of sand and dirt on track. Which lap was your PB lap?

lol, you don't even do 9 hot laps in a day. But by the 9th lap, I could feel a slight degradation. Maybe 0.5s drop from peak? Most sectors were still purple and only 1 or 2 sector is off by 0.1s compared to when tires are in optimal condition.

Thanks! I ran with SpeedSF. Track is only empty at the 5th and last session. All other sessions I had to pass plenty of traffic.

🤣

Yeah, I've tried AR1 before. I would say they're about the same pace but AR1 would fall off slightly slower than RT660. RT660 in my experience will delaminate under high heat and you really need to baby it for them to last and cannot continuously punish them. However, I really like the the firm sidewall and direct feedback that it gives.

@@mcbat8 good to know! Thanks!

I haven't driven V730 on the Camaro but it feels a little more grip than V730. I would say between RE-71RS and V730.

Correct, Race PTM. It's a great platform with good suspension and traction control tuning. Really like the front end and steering feel. Just wish it was lighter.

From comparing to your video, I think the time difference is mostly between T9 and T10. You can start the video at corkscrew and compare. Good job improving!

Thank@@mcbat8 I'll definitely check that out!

Front pads are Carbotech XP20. Hard to find pads for this BCD caliper. It's not shared with ZLE 1LE or regular SS 1LE. I thought about the OBD2 connector for more data but I don't think it will add that much value for me. You can see the steering inputs in the video already and GPS speeds gives a good sense if I am on throttle or brake. And to be honest I think I am too lazy to pull data from multiple sources to make a video. I just want to drive lol.

tell me about it, we also had a kit car that's lower and smaller than that ariel atom dive bombing people. Eventually he got clipped while trying to pass at the inside of T7. Everyone else was pretty good though.

@@mcbat8 clipped sounds bad though. It’s HPDE!
