Default ZR1 laying the smack down at Circuit of the Americas

See the most recent uploaded videos with some cool data overlay on my Youtube page. The ZR1 is still a beast.

Very nice video, compliment.
Together with you, I would certainly have a lot of fun.

At your data I see high water temp!
Now, they always have small interruptions in the full load trips, because many vehicles.
If you go faster, harder and longer, the load on the engine block is large.
I'll give you a tip make them improve cooling.
My goal: maximum water 105 °

Finspeed wheels, 18" all around. Discontinued continental slicks 305/660R18 GT-R front and 325/680R18 GT-R rear. Not the best tire, but cheap and good for DE type events.

Michelin slicks 30/65 front 31/71 rear in S9H compound are DRAMATICALLY better, like several seconds faster per lap, but they are 3-4 times as much as the discontinued old Conti slicks. I'll only use the Mich slicks for time trial type stuff or when I really need to set a fast lap.

Daniel at Finspeed is the guy to talk to for all of the above info and more.

Tests once the DTM Hankook medium
For two years, I always get Hankook
The tire is about 0.2 seconds lansamer as Michelin.
But you can take twice as long

No issues moving from 19/20 set up with the electronics on the car? I have been wanting to go with different wheels for track days but was not sure how the computer would react to the change.

No issues at all. It's rolling circumference difference between front and rear or something like that. Call Daniel and I'm sure he can explain better.

Where you can not buy the tires in the US in white unfortunately.
I have many in stock, unfortunately the transport in the US is very expensive.

If you want, I speak with Hankook Motorsport maybe there is a good address in the United States.
From what place are you from?

I still have a few days the business closed.
I try next week to make contacts for you.

Here are two video with the ZR1 and Hankook slicks
The camera is installed at my friend.
The first video I'm using the black ZR1 from about 4 minutes on waiting for my friend, then we had a lot of fun with the Porsche

In the second video you see my friend with the ZR1
together with GT3 race car which are at the train for the best start time.
