How does that lap time compare to T1 times? What are the specs on your car.

Very nice lap btw- I like how you keep the car up in the rev's. I dont see that very often.

I am good freinds with Manny-Panoz GT also he is a tts guy, I just sold my panoz and bought an LS3 c6 mn6, would like to TT it. Just need time to prep it and sort it.

Nice driving, what about the guy with the c6 z06, black,black,did he run and are the c6 and z06 c6 TTS or TTU.

Dude, that was just like Forza. I'll have to check my Forza times to see how they compare.

Nice driving looks like you caught traffic in all the right places.


Nice video, love those videos.

Thanks Mitch...Eric with the black/ black C6 Z06 was there but unfortunately his engine let go so he jumped in a miata and had a blast in that the rest of the weekend. Your C6 LS3 goes under the SUR classification so it's all up to what you will be running for power/weight. TTS=8.7lbs/hp & TTU=5.5lbs/hp. A C6 Z06 starts in TTU. All the details are on the NASA TT website for ya but barring any major power mods you will most likely be in TTS with me If you have any questions about setup/mods etc just shoot me a pm and I'll will do anything I can to help ya out! Hope to see you at Sebring in Oct

Nice Driving!! Looks like you guys were having a blast out there. What happened to the motor in your buddys C6 Z06? I've lost one on the back straight there myself. You guys should try to make it to a Chin event at Sebring. You can pass anywhere and there are usually a few exotics or race cars to battle with.

Thought you'd be down in the teens on Sunday! Great day, urgh, not for me!

Here's what I recall: You passed me coming into 17, we both passed Chip's 911 before 1, at 3, I turned in a little late, front pushed then back end came around, I corrected right into the grass, thought I'd just go through and come out after 4, however, as soon as I hit the grass I felt like I was on ice and slid into the tire wall!!! Lots of blue paint!!

I think I ran a 2:30, hopefully ahead of Manny and Alex. Bumper, fender and headlight are on their way. Thinking about Road Atlanta in August and back to Sebring in October.

Mitch - Glad to see you got rid of the Panoz - nothing but issues. Happier to see you bought a c6!

Stephen
