Is it faster than your Vette?

J.R.

As of present my best times have been about 2-3 seconds off of the Corvette ST2 track records. Part of that is that I run used Pirelli slicks that are throw aways from World Challenge cars.. I think with a few more set up tweaks and some newer tires (A7's ?) I can get close to the Corvette's times. But we did win the ST2 Regional Championships last year with the BMW. The M3 is a lot easier to work on and a blast to drive but I am getting too busy on other projects.
