in a 2012 ZR1 with the new Cup tires. 7:19.63. Watching him go from 182 on the straight down to 100 for the corner in no time at all is insane!

He only gained 6 seconds over 7+ minutes. Hoosiers are good for 5 seconds over 1 minute. ;)

Holy Shit 1.5 G's on stock tires. Yeah race slicks would be better ,but for the average driver thats a hell of a lot of car ability. Would make you look pretty damn good on the track:D:cheers: Way to go team Corvette.:cheers:

**** yes... go Chevy Go!Whats up Brian?

I'm running the Cup Sports on factory '07 Z wheels and they are no joke for grip and cornering.

Would I pay $2k for them on the next go-round? Feck no :hump:
