OVERULD

Hip! Hip! Hooray! Thanks Zymurgy!

UPDATE:

The current plan will be to place the "HOME" of this thread in C7 Performance/Tech, and then stickys in Z06 and General that redirect to that home thread. This will hopefully make this thread more visible to all of the C7 ownership, versus just the Z06 guys. Certainly there are Stingray/Z51 guys tracking these also and they aren't finding this thread.

Zymurgy has offered to help for the cause so, it's nice to have an ally that supports tracking these beasts and bringing the track guys together!

Poor-sha

Thanks Zymurgy and to you RC000E for make this happen.

Deuuuce

Need one of the pros to go back to MRLS after Pobst's recent time. Good, but disappointing.

Race guys. Anybody running a catch can? I've had big power loss and check engine light on track after installing elite engineering catch can. Got codes for intake performance, and fuel trim?? Do you still and 1/2 qt oil for track? Almost filled my can on first 4 laps out. ?? Help?

Hey Dabig, this is a good question to prolly post in the main forum.

I don't know any track guys that run catch cans - I sure don't - but those error codes and oil consumption sound like you are sucking oil into the intake track. Any chance of an overfill? I ask because I've done it on a dry sump motor before and it makes a hell of a mess in the intake track, causes big power loss and messes with the AF ratio.

If not overfill (and I know nothing about catch cans) is it possible a vacuum is being created somewhere and pulling oil into the intake through the plumbing of the catch can (or maybe an error in the plumbing)?

Notes - Lead follow format necessitated earlier braking than necessary. When not behind the (instructor) pace car I was held back slightly by C7 z51. My best 3 laps I was directly behind the pace car. With that said this was my first HPDE, although I do sim race and have karted some. It was also quite cold.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback!

This track isn't too far from me. How do you run it?

truth.b

I've only run the track with East Carolina Corvette Club (ECCC), they usually host this event the 1st or 2nd weekend in August.

According to Motorsportsreg it appears ApexFest is hosting a 2-day track event there on April 9-10.

I send you a PM when the ECCC sends me the flyer for this year's event.

Notes - With Passenger. First time running the R7s. Impressive. 2 secs per lap faster than cup 2s. That's a 997 GT3 RS in front of me. He was hauling the mail.

Notable I ran brake temp paint on my rotors...even with lexan winglets, rotor temps registered between 800-1000 degrees. No bueno.

Wow - 800 to 1000deg on the rotors. How did they and the pads look after???

2016 Z

Front rotors are cashed. They have about 10 track days on them, my 2nd set of front pads is also done, and my first set of rears are gone. The front pads were completely white after the first day of a two day weekend.

The first set of front pads lasted 8 days, this second set lasted 2 days at COTA after the rotors started to break down and pock.
