Default Z06 vs ZL1 Track Comparison

I'm really excited about my most recent data analysis vid. I was at VIR last November with another fast driver in his Camaro ZL1 A10. He was nice enough to give me his PDR data so I could compare them. It was also a warm day in the low 80's so it provided some insight in to the differences in cooling between the two cars along with how the A10 puts the power down. Enjoy.

Very informative! Thank you. The ZR1 A8 should be amazing!

I should add that I have a Z06/Z07 with 7 speed manual and I’m also looking forward to a ZR1 comparison, particularly the A8. Thanks again for your insight.

Sean that was fantastic, felt like i was listing to the GM Camaro engineer explaining to his boss how well the Camaro came out!

With all the Camaro cooling i was surprised it didn't fare better than the Z. Could be that's what GM felt it needed to move that extra weight around and keep it cool.

What's your opinion of why the Camaro can lay down the torque so much higher in the beginning? I guess that's what surprised me the most.

Do you still use the AIM data in the new car?

Sean,
Is IAT a new Cosworth data channel compared to the 2015 cars? What about Traction Conrol?

It's just the gearing. Remember, that is the engine torque * gear ratio * a correction for final drive. Lower gear means more effective torque. I might try 2nd in my car next time I'm there.

I'm not using the Aim any more unless I decide to track the M3. The PDR and Cosworth toolbox does everything and more. The only downside is the size of the PDR data.

TC Active looks to be there on the 2015, IAT was new for 2017+ but you can get it with an Aim Solo so it is on the CAN bus.
