I don't know how many track days. Probably about 6 - 8 plus driving back and forth.
I'm on the road too much and my wife would have to take care of shipping and that wouldn't go over to well
Just saving her the hassle and giving her one less thing to complain about when I say "Honey I can't fix (fill in the blank), I will be at the track for the next 2 or 3 days."

The car isn't street legal anymore. It is a 100% track car.
I loved them also.
Now I'm running Hoosier Slicks and trailer the car to the track.

Thanks

63Corvette, I tried calling the number you sent and sending email.
The email got kicked back and the number said out of service.
Send me a PM.

No it won't if all sensors and circuits on the car are working correctly.
On the C5 the DTC's are C1225, 1226, 1227, 1228 "Excessive Wheel Speed Variation".
Straight from GM Service Manual:
The DTC can be set anytime the brake is not depressed and no wheel speed sensor hardware DTCs are present, and the EBTCM sees a wheel speed variation of more than 14 Km/h (9 mph) for 2.5 seconds.

There are many myths and mis-information posted on these forums. You can't believe everything.

The difference between factory sizes and running a square setup is only 2.2mph. In the factory setup the front tires are 3.7% smaller than the rears giving a difference of 2.2mph so by making the setup square there is a 0mph difference, still well within the 9mph allowed. and just in case someone throws it out there, as far as I can tell, that difference is relative to any actual measured wheel speed, not some preprogrammed reference number in the computer.

I have been running a square setup for at least 3 years and never have had an issue. IMHO If someone does have an issue I think it is related to something else not working properly and the tech didn't understand the system correctly and misdiagnosed.
