The perfect memorization and understanding of the course will be the difference between a 7:10, and a 6:50 or lower.
One last thing to also keep in mind GM's focus is now on the ZR1 not the Z06. The Z06 is no longer top dog in this show.

it never was in their mind. Why would they ignore the overheating in their “top dog”?

We did what what we had to do to overcome the issues. Make no mistake, we did not introduce the Dual intercooler concept, we just applied it to the Z06. Once GM did, they now call it the ZR1. Funny how that works.

We we just added all of our bright ideas in the Suspension and Aero department plus we put a proper clutch package and a bit more HP. Now we are going to validate our Nurburgring package and my driving.
Nothing more.

So so it will be a real grass roots effort and experience.

Nowhere does it say that a company like LG Motorsports should STAND DOWN AND SUBMIT

SO........WE WONT.

Thanks

@ LOU! MAKE THE Z06 GREAT AGAIN!

GM managed to botch the legendary Z06 name with the current generation. We need warriors like you to turn the tide!

Got the Motion simulator set up yesterday. Still have to work on the set up to get it more like driving a car, but what I can tell you is that it has the most accurate visuals and track details that one could imagine.

I will get some pictures up later

StopTech Kit is on! LG GR7's are the same height, width, backspace etc as OEM (for fitment reference). Wheels are a little dirty but this isn't a wash and wax thread

Well, now a Porsche 919 evo has set a new record... which is just astounding......5'19".


This is so fast, it almost seems like its a video game.

Sorry Lou, but I don't think you'll get close to this... but anyway... just show them that a Corvette
can do better than all those "other" cars.

Let us not overlook the sexiest Silver C6Z I probably have ever seen under the C7Z (well sexy 2nd to mine). ZR1 Aero, CCB's, Forgeline's, and the Halltech Dredd Hood (I think). I think I have found what I want to do to my C6Z haha.

Top dog for what? Top Speed?

Not it sales, and damn sure not on the the track.
