Good luck to you guys! The only vettes that can keep up with the faster GTR's at the track are automatic vettes around here. They rip out of the whole hard.
It's like playing a video game. One of my tuners has one with almost no seat time. On his 3rd pass, we went 10.30@138 with no mods and only an E85 tune.

The problem Nick is that it doesnt matter how the track preps, GTR's will destroy the track prep and it just doesnt matter to them, they will still hook.
We had to boot one of the 8 second GTR's to the left lane at the last Atco rental because the guy just ripped up all the rubber off the track. After a few big tire cars made a couple of John Force burn outs we were all good again, but without them there the track would have been shot.
I would see if they would be willing to have an AWD lane, and a RWD lane. I think you will be thankful.

It's really nice to hear about a big power m6 c6 take to the track.. Useally that's the auto guys holy grail...either case it takes one hell of a driver with big gahonies to pilot a 1000+ c6... As the gtr... Not so much.. Gtr has to be the only car in the world Richard Simmons himself can do a 10sec pass bone stock
