PittRace 6.27 Tracknight. Strano Performance Parts C6Z06
My best two laps (only two without traffic). It's my SSR autocross car, running just as I autocross it but for 2 psi less cold air pressure.
Koni Shocks, stock springs, Strano 8472 front bar with adjustable links. Strano Delrin ball and cup upper shock bushings, Strano rod-end conversion on the lower front shock mounts. aFe/Pfadt Spherical lower shock mounts. Ferodo DS2500 pads on stock rotors. Hooker Blackheart exhaust. By the way, these are all parts available at Strano Performance Parts!!
Also, they just paved the entire thing, South was only done early this week. My first session was not confidence inspiring to say the least. This was my 3rd session and I think the 7th total since the paving it was getting better quickly.
Usually I'd take my 4th gen Camaro for this stuff since I have a roll bar, different brakes, and it's what I use for muscle car events. But it had some issue I needed to get fixed before I took it, so I decided to run some old Hoosier's and have a good time.

Looking over data:
Top speed 137, twice per lap, up to or over 120 4 times a lap. Low speed of 49.8 and 53.3 in the slowest corners (twice per lap). PittRace is 2.78 miles. High grip that I could call sustained... 2.5 seconds over 1g, peak of 1.32 in the middle of the curve. Max braking helped by braking uphill, 1.19g, and downhill with no help from physics 1.07.

Great video! I have yet to run the new section, but each time I see it I want to drive it more!

Here's the thing with me. Prices are very competitive, advice you aren't going to get elsewhere (at least in the sense you can count on it). I will not sell you a list of stuff for no reason. In fact I'm more conservative on setups than most folks are planning on.
Won't recommend anything to you until in the course of talking we figure out exactly what the best plan is.

For the advice or the parts, or both?

Oh def purchasing the parts from you. That would be the whole point. I wouldn't want to pick your brain and then take my business elsewhere. I'm all about supporting smaller businesses that have a great word of mouth reputation. I'm just not ready to spend upwards of $1K+ right now on the few parts I'm likely going to get, so I don't wanna call and make you think I went elsewhere to price gouge because I'm not purchasing with a month or 2 from now.

I'm in no hurry, when you want to talk it over, give me a ring!

Thanks for posting /sharing Sam, and congrats on the Bristol showing as well, between SSR & AS, it was a couple highly competitive & high PAX result classes.
I have shot you a message or two to chat through alignment ideas for my '13 z06, for both AS & track days since getting your front bar installed, and finally the Forgestars I bought from you last year. Is it best to call vs. message online? Much thanks.

I'm so buried that getting ahold of me is never a quick endeavor. I can't spend all the time it takes on email, because one message always leads to 5 more.
Call me, though I have messages dating back two weeks now having been out of town a lot since before the 1st of July.
