C8 Z06 Track Set Up
Hey Guys,
Used search to see what I could find and it did not populate much info.
If there is already a thread on here somewhere for track set up on C8 Z06 please redirect me.
Looking to get out of my Porsche and into a C8 Z06 that will see double duty track/street.
Cant wait to get started.

There are a handful of people and threads over in the C8 Z06 dedicated forum where we discuss track setups and such. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...iscussion-187/
Would recommend that you browse/search over there, but if you have specific questions, feel free to ask in this thread or over there.

Thanks , appreciate it.
I scoured that forum first, but did not see a sticky or anything where people have set ups in 1 place.
I'll post up questions there for wheel size, tires, suspension mods and aero.

No stickies, but here are a couple of threads to look over if you want to do more serious modding.

From what I've seen, a lot of guys do 200tw tires, I'd assume most would do Castrol SRF and some sort of brake upgrades. I like having dedicated race pads and rotors for track days.
Do you have carbon or iron rotors? There is a whole ton of good info on what works and what doesn't because of the ABS programming of the brake system.

I'm not chasing lap times, so car is stock (outside of fluid, tires, etc.).
