Getting the wave by from the ZL1’s was 👍👍👍

[@fritzmeynejr2983]

Wow, impressive. Great job! Watching your tach and MPH, you are very consistent!

[@josephgunter2563]

Well done .aggressive but respect to others out tracking too!

[@hnel_on_track]

Thanks! Chin as a group has pretty good drivers. I felt comfortable with the other folks on track and pushed pretty hard.
I would not have been as aggressive if I was out with another group besides Chin.

[@427Nut]

That's a good time with or without traffic 👍

[@hnel_on_track]

Thanks! Circuit Tools shows 2:05.09 with an optimal of 2:04.05 for that session... dipping into the 2:03s may be possible next time out.

Those kinda dudes are left lane hughers

[@erlegree]

Solid Run. I'm putting together a 02 Z06. It seems like your mod list will be very close to what I am building. That AP Brake package is amazing
. Thanks!

[@thestaginglanes4147]

Great driving! You are really moving in that C5Z!

[@hnel_on_track]

Thanks man. I'm pretty sure you were out at Fall Fest in the same run group as me when I put my C5 in the tire wall in the lower essess.
Can't wait to get the car fixed and back on track.

[@thestaginglanes4147]

@@hnel_on_track I sure was. I was sorry to see the car off track. I'm glad to see she's almost ready again. I hope we both get out there together again this year 💪👌🏁

[@shawnmatzinger6326]

Are you happy with the ap brakes?

[@hnel_on_track]

I am happy with the AP brakes.
I have struggled matching pads/tires but feel good about the Ferodo/Pirelli combo I have now.
It’s possible to go plenty fast with the stock C5 brakes but you’ll spend a lot of time working on them to get max performance.
Kits from the big names(AP, StopTech, Wilwood) take that hassle away.

[@shawnmatzinger6326]

Which pads have you landed on? I am putting on the same kit on at this time was going to go with the 3.12 pads and A7 Hoosier tires.

[@shawnmatzinger6326]

I am doing brakes al 4 corners. Any thoughts or ideas let me know.

[@hnel_on_track]

I ended up with DS1.11. I went this direction as I had a ton of ABS activation with other pads.
I just recently put a CP8350 kit on the rear too. Ferodo pads in the stock shape are just stupid expensive. Probably wouldn’t have switched to Ferodo if I hadn’t also upgraded the rears.
I like that the 8350 kit can use stock C5 front rotors and that it uses the same pads front/back. Simplifies the spares setup.

[@shawnmatzinger6326]

Thanks

[@tjlarson8150]
