Yeah, I will definitely be comparing the Z06 to the ZR1 as soon as I can get it on track.
Stage 2 aero on your ZO6 as well?

It's the GM PDR and Cosworth Pi Toolbox software. Check out my YT channel and www.hipodriver.com.

Hi Poor-sha,

Great videos!

How does the ZR1 vs. Z06 compare on the track?

I'm wondering...since this data is based on distance from the S/F line, could some of the data tracing be misleading? For example, if you were to analyze your braking point compared to the other driver, the data may appear to show one of you braking later. However, if the one person simply drove a longer distance by taking different lines and using up more of the track, then the tracing could appear to show one driver braking later/earlier, when in fact both drivers hit the brakes at exactly the same point..

If you look in the C7 ZR1 section I did a couple of comparos but the simple answer is "more". More speed, more grip, more fuel, more brakes, more tires. I really liked that car but unfortunately it met an early end.

In theory you're right but in general the total distance traveled to any given point is pretty close unless this do something like spin off track. When you overlay the traces though you can generally see if they are different.
