Youtube video is up from Sebring ALMS tire test
Hi guys,
The Youtube video is up from our Sebring ALMS GT2 Corvette tire test.
Much easier to view and much shorter.
Still great in car views.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6ZbH3UWRVU
Some information on the test car. It was our #28 World challenge car with tires similar to what we will be running in the GT2 class in ALMS and hopefully LeMans.
The GT2 car will be much better and have wider tires on it. Plus our GT2 car will be a Riley Technologies built Corvette GT2 car starting with a C6 Corvette.
We will be using the LS3 Corvette engine with the correct restrictors.
The tire brand will be announced very soon.
Thanks
Lou Gigliotti

That is some nice driving! I could only imagine what the GT2 will be like with the wider tires, etc. Thanks for the video...it was a great way to start off my day!

Shift point is 7400 max. Per the rules.
Two seasons ago there was no rpm rule and we used 7800 as a shift point.
Thanks

Hope this isn't getting off topic, but what would it take to raise the redline on a stock LS2? I.E. Where is the first limitation? I imagine first you run into valve float, then rod stretch, then oiling issues? Where does that valve float first occur, and, if you fix it (stiffer springs?), where is the next limitation?
I imagine it also takes a cam to make enough power up there to justify reving it any higher, but lets overlook that for a moment.
My previous car (Subaru) reved to 8200RPMs and I absolutely loved how the gears seemed to go on for ever. Wish my 'Vette could do at least 7K

Lou- You blew by that other car so fast I almost did not see it! What was he doing on the track?
