Great weekend with NASA at NJMP Thunderbolt. Ran the chicane for the first time after going there for 5 years. Like it better with out.... Anyway car was awesome and once again very happy. Ran 1:31 which was fast enough to win TTU. I was 4 th fastest of all TT cars. Fastest ran 1:28's. Fastest in race group was also 1:28's so the stock Z held its own. No heat issues with the car and it was in mid 80's. TT sessions are only 15 min so that's why.273 oil temp. Not using 2nd in the tight sections helps for sure. It may be a tad faster too since the car is more stable. It was more 4 th track day on the cup tires and they were shot.... Def would have been faster with fresh tires. For me 3 days max with the cup tires.

Nice runnin'.

VinnieA

Thanks! No car is completely stock. I did track alignment and 80/20 water/coolant.
I told my self I'd keep it stock for a year.....

sushisean

great runnin! What was your ambient air temp? 80/20 really seems to help keep the temp down

VinnieA

Thanks! Ambient temp this session was around 78. Got hotter in afternoon 85. Oil temp in afternoon was 280.

Awesome job, great driving Vinnie.
So I went to a 20% Dex concentration with WW before Roebling. I have sessions where the coolant stabilized in the mid-240's (during one session after 11 laps stabilized at 243-244* for remainder of session) and oil stabilized at 293* at the same point.
Would be curious to see if your car did the same thing.
