There's a front end wreck ZL1 1LE next to where I work at a body shop. Needs a new hood and bumper+radiator and left front wheel assy. The shop told me it was only 10000 if I wanted it. I used to race corvettes and Lotus so this is a hell of a bargain that I may take!

[@Savyomix]

Nice run, definitely felt that title. I thought I'd been inconsistent in my own runs since I'm noticing a little more brake fade and less grip but I blame this summer.

[@Mechanical_Eng_HPDE]

My car was down on power, my data says that my average speed was 4mph slower than normal and my top speed was down by 7mph. My laps times were 3 secs slower than normal.

nice. im gonna bring my ZLE in september. red one just like that

[@jfritz7000]

Brutal conditions... it's so disgusting out

[@Mechanical_Eng_HPDE]

Yeah, definitely not worth beating on the drivetrain and tires on these conditions, just to go slower...

[@yoyodawgsupbrah]

titanium lug nuts? should i be worried about OEM lugnuts on track duty?

[@Mechanical_Eng_HPDE]

Not necessarily, my OEM lugnuts swelled a bit due to heat and low quality metal/construction, but I do about 18 track days a year. Normal people don't seem to have an issue...

[@yoyodawgsupbrah]

@@Mechanical_Eng_HPDE wow ok I’ll be checking my cold torque before track duties good to know

[@yoyodawgsupbrah]

was the red ZLE a manual too?

[@Mechanical_Eng_HPDE]

Yeah

[@yoyodawgsupbrah]

@@Mechanical_Eng_HPDE wow can’t wait I’m taking the novice course
