  • Driving the 2021 hardtop convertible corvette on the race track. This is in the afternoon when things got warmer and people went home so I had the track to myself. It should do 55s in the morning IF there's no traffic.

    Crazy how tame it is, nice neutral steering in the corners, very predictable when it starts losing grip. Awesome machine

      Sure, but give credit to the driver, because a lot of what you described is thanks to his smooth inputs.

    Dude, revisiting this video. What a fluid dance partner (credit to the driver zentrose) it was hypnotic in the nicest way possible. Very cool. Everything looks well translated and progressive in its handling behavior. Crazy Hes going very fast yet in a stable and gentle flow state of under neutral and over steer.

    If you like tracking your C8 you might consider the Speedway Composites Chassis X Strut Brace. It improves lap times considerably and looks great. For top down cruising they have Wind Screens. Plus several products to keep dust and water off the engine and increase cabin storage!

    Using that mid-engine layout to commit in places that would terrify me with front-engine placement. Nice!

      Yes. This car was sitting in my hangar and I needed to unload it but wanted to track it first. It literally went straight to auction after this track event.

  • @haydenbattaglia7389
    @haydenbattaglia7389 7 месяцев назад

    Just found this video but I’m curious to know if this was using the track alignment or if you had any other slight modifications that helped it to oversteer at times. I’ve been heavily considering a C8 but worried about its understeer nature on track, many reviewers make it out to be a pretty big issue.

    • @ZentRose
      @ZentRose  7 месяцев назад

      Yes I have track alignment settings. Handling balance is fine

  • @mekeefro

    I was just tracking my C8 at button willow last weekend. Was down in the low 2:03-5 range but had really bad brake fade into turn 2. Upgrade the fluid and pads prior to the event but did not put it in competitive driving mode, only track mode. My research is saying the brake pedal feel changes in competitive driving mode. Have you tried just track mode with the TC/ESC on?

    • @ZentRose
      @ZentRose  Год назад

      I did not try in track mode with TC on. Maybe that was causing your brake issue? I was on stock pads and I destroyed them at this event.

    Seems tail-happy for a mid-engine car. But I've never really driven a mid-engine car...at least one with power. (Think 80's MR2).

    If you want to improve C8 lap times you need a Speedway Composites Chassis Strut X Brace, improves chassis rigidity by 8% and lap times by 1%.
