-Notes:
Did not overheat. Was surprised that I did not get higher although I took every 3rd lap a bit easy on the straightway. My hotest temp was in the morning at 92 degrees. The temp was 268.
After the first session I removed the rubber liner by the top of the hood.
Will have to post video later, still at the hotel.

Ambient temp - high 80's-low 90's, very humid

PittRace South Track
Track - PittRace South Track
Trans - M7
Mode - Sport - all nannies active
Car - 15 ZO6 Coupe Level 1 Aero
Tires - Mich Pilot Sport Cup 2
Alignment - Track
Conditions - New track (5th day of use), Mid 80's, high humidity, no curbing, lots of dirt and runoff from recent rains
Overheat / Issues - Pretty sure I ran some old gas - had some issues on track that cleared up once I put in some 100 octane gas
Best Time - 1:02.2
Modifications - Haltech CAI, Carbotech pads front & rear, Mobil 1 5 /30 Oil, Torque Brake Fluid
My excuses: I was gun shy from a recent off, so I left settings on Sport and went only about 80%. Ran low on gas and put about 3 gallons of 93 octane fuel that was around 4 weeks old. Track was still damp (at least in my mind) from very light rain during previous session

Maybe if we had more Porsche types, then we'd actually see these cars on tracks. Love the Corvette...can't say I love the demographics...

If Corvette keeps focused on the driving experience and not too heavily derailed with CTS-V's and open air experiences, the evolution of Corvette as a true global performance benchmark is possible. Can't say I'm 100% thrilled with C7Z overall but...it got them the numbers they need for pamphlets I suppose.

I was there the same weekend. I'd say a 2:37.8 is pretty good for a stock C7. I was there with my stock C6 GS and best time was 2:42, with 30 less HP
There was a Shark Gray C7 Z06 in the fast group running slower times than us, but I chalked it up to maybe he didnt want to go ***** out 10/10ths with his new $90,000 sports car.

Do you have any video of your time at RA? I was in the 2nd highest run group there; would love to see some of your driving, too.
