I wish they would let me run 275 up front and 315 in the rear for a average of 295...

The right driver in a Caymen S (TTB base) and 39 mod points would be pretty stiff competition for stock C5Z's. On paper it looks good...

I did look to see what the competitor cars would be to my wife's GTO (TTC*) - as if she will let me track it .... it has a stock size of 245 and not much bigger will even fit. So track tires and bars will be the the thing to do for that barge.....plus the much needed free bushings and it will stay in TTC.

The rules seem fair MINUS the tire rule...the tire rule should be based off the stock factory sized tire...running 255's on a stock c5 would be a joke. I guess it really boils down to gaining speed in the corners. I think suspension mods would be the best/first thing to look at - forget the 315 sized tires...i ran 295's forever on my c5 z06 (stock) and have been clocked sub 210's at VIR. I bet with the right suspension setup, you can get the same, if not more, tire contact with a 295 tire then a 315. hell, i bet you would be surprised what a 275 tire would do too!
