Thanks, I remember watching your C5 Vortech video 10 years ago or so , I think it had some chick following you in a Honda or something like that, and you rip it alittle on the highway with wheel spin?
I did Halltech intake, GM carbon braces, MGW shifter on the C7Z. The C7Z takes corners well, it hits a wall at 125mph. The game has changed for making a beast car that accelerates well. The C7Z won't ever do it without taking the aero off... which I'm not going to do. The Mclaren MP4 goes 16MPH faster on the straights and the 675LT goes 20mph faster on the straights, for example at COTA. But my C5 burns everyone, even paced a 918 Porsche lol

I don't see any aero mods and it looks like your main radiator is still configured as bottom breather, do you feel your front end getting light at all over 150?

I know it does have highspeed push naturally, my suspension and 315s up front really keep the nose down, im sure my wide fender is helping some. But you are referring to the air coming in the main scoop, interesting, I never thought about it. Keep talking ha... imagine if I had aero on this beast, which of course next.

I forget the exact weight I think it was close to 3500 with me in it, I'm very dense, lol
I just had my Penskes serviced and dynoed once back on the car I will have it corner weighted.

ha, nice! You know, the point of those plastic deflectors infront of the tire supposedly reduces lift by 5%. Some weird fact I remembered from a long time ago, who knows if it's actually 5%. Point being, I don't recall feeling anything at 165-170mph and that was the first time I drove it at high speed.
