Default Z06 at Sebring (and comparison to C7)

Again with Chin Motorsports, and part of the 600+ track miles at Sebring and COTA during a week.


Comparisons of this Z06 laptime can be made to the C7 performance by Tommy Milner - see youtube: Sebring Raceway: Performance Data Recorder -- C7 Chevrolet.

Simple Excel showing differences attached.

Thanks for sharing video. Finally someone drives the car seriously. The car obviously has plenty of hp for roadcourse work.

After comparing the two videos there is no significant difference in straight line top speed between the Stingray and the Z in this track.

The attachment is a small chart of turn entry and corner speeds between his laps and Milner's Stingray times.

Milner's lap was ~2.25.

Nice! I was at Chin last weekend and I believe I saw your car there again. In fact, I think you passed me. Were you running the Advanced Group?

I too set a personal best in my C5 Z. I ran a 2:26.4. The cars got 2:25's in it though.

Your car is badass.
