INSANE grip coming off corners. Watch the G Meter, this was on street tires at 85+ degrees. Some quirky things, brake by wire is kinda weird and the only part of the front of the car I can see from the driver's seat are the tops of the front fenders. However, I swear I could turn a faster lap in that thing with 495 hp than I could in my 650 hp C7 ZO6. |

OK, so you have some 24" rims with say 28" outer/tread diameter tires....and some super suspension allowing rubber band tires.....just HOW in HELL is this an advance in over drive ability??
I can see 17-18" rims and 10 inches wide fine, enough sidewall flex to handle todays shitty roads and various curbs, speed bumps, etc..... but just how do these cars with rubber band tires handle the everyday roads?? |

That C5 was holding you back big time. Honestly boring that you couldn't turn that beast loose. You have the skills.

Damn, THIIC 🤣. Looks like a blast man! Can’t believe it’s been 3 years since I ripped around a full size track.

This was the C8 experience, anyone with a valid DL can plop down their money and saddle up. As a result they clamp down pretty hard. Lead/follow format, the C5 Z was the instructor. Every time he held me up it was to let the other guy in our group catch up. |
