Will a stock C5 Z06 pass sound at Laguna Seca? It seems like only the C6s with the bypass exhaust fail, right?

Lloyd, you will be fine at Laguna with the stock C5Z exhaust.

No amount of advance preparation can compensate for too many projects and poor time management. With that said, here is the info I promised on the ZR1 X pipe swap I mentioned at Willow.

Much like learning turn in points, good brakes, and 100 more horsepower....remembering corners is over-rated IMHO
