Final 3 laps of the day turned out to be the fastest 3 laps of the day - lol. Worked down from a 1:43.71 to 1:42.96 to 1:42.59. I was tired and the tires were hot, so I was done.
The conditions were 70 degrees, dry and very windy by the afternoon, including the last session where I got a few clean laps in, including the 1:42.59. There was a 30+mph crosswind pushing us off turn 2 which made for a couple of puckery moments.
This 2022 C8 aka ‘Wolfpaq 3.0’ is a Z51 and has magnetic shocks/PTM.
Mods from ‘Factory Stock’: Lowered ¾” front and back on Paragon collars, GM-spec track alignment, GM brake ducts, Forged One (Tire Rack – yup) monoblock wheels in 19x8.5 and 20x11 (stock sizes), Goodyear Supercar 3R’s in 245/35/19F and 305/30/20R (stock sizes), Girodisc rotors front/rear, G-Loc R12 track pads front/rear.
The new brake rotor/pad combo was a significant improvement from the stock setup. Very good initial bite and ability to modulate and trail brake. They were so strong they overpowered the PS4S tires I ran for the first two sessions. I switched mid-day to the Supercar 3R at mid-day and they came in pretty well over the next couple of sessions.
I’ll run like this for a few days and see how much time I can find.. I think I can get into the 41’s on this setup with some more seat time, but we’ll see. 😊
