Terry got to take a lap at Motorsport Ranch on the 1.7 CCW course in Jerry Cecco's 2012 C7 Corvette C6 Z06. This car was stock expect for Carbotech XP10 front and XP8 rear, Motul RBF600 fluid, and Vorshlag had changed the alignment to -2.0° camber front and rear.
This was Terry's first time to track drive a C6 Z06 but the tires were overheated after the first lap (the car had run 3 long sessions previously). This 1 lap stint had Jerry as a passenger and Terry was driving at about 90%. The Z06 had more bodyroll than the C7 Grand Sport and the seats were a bit lacking, but the 7.0L V8 was excellent and the brakes were flawless. Thanks Jerry!
