I will know soon enough how it does on track since the first track day is tomorrow. Hoping I can adapt to it as quickly as I did in the GT3. Having more fun at a fraction of the cost sounds like a winner to me. |

PS.. I feel the nannies intervene too much and sometimes delay power delivery when you want to go fast. As I said above, after experimentation, I like everything off. I was at first concerned that the car would have too much power so I started with Track and used PTM modes from Dry, Sport 1, Sport 2 to Race. Race was not bad. I felt the others took too much away even with cold tires. I also found that the car handles quite well. It took a very little time to trust the car.

The best I could do was a 2:02. Contrast that with a 1:57 in the 991.1 GT3 the first day out on the same track under similar conditions a couple of years back. Either the GT3 is an easier car to drive or I'm just not used to the dynamics of a relatively heavy, high horse power, front engine car. I need to trust the car more and get closer to it's limits. In either case, the ZL1 1LE should be theoretically a faster car based on the Laguna Seca times achieved by Randy Pobst. I'm really excited to improve and get better times. I'm still very happy with the purchase. How many track days are you getting out of the tires? This is what mine looks like after 106 hours of track time and 77 track miles. I'm hoping I'll be able to get 3 track days out of them. Thanks again for your insight. |

My fronts were trashed after 14 heat cycles / 3 track days on a SS 1LE with the ZL1 1LE wheels & tires (G3R's). The rears will be done after the next track day. Running proper negative camber and alignment. I would think your power level would kill the tires off even more quickly.

Here are the videos from one of the sessions. The first is how I generally put together track videos unless I get ambitious and overlay the Solo DL data. The second is taken with the PDR. I definitely left a lot on the table. The car has huge potential.

Looks like a lot of Porsche people here. Some of you may know Orthojoe from Rennlist. He has a GT3 which I co-own with him and he also has a GT4. This is a video he put together of me in the GT3 on it's first day on track if you're interested. We spent that day beating each other's lap times back and forth throughout the day. It was great fun.
https://youtu.be/SRm0TbdFSYE This is him in my car a few days ago. I basically handed the car over to him and our buddy Mike without much instruction and comedy ensued lol. https://youtu.be/6mezOQExTYE Last edited by bensf; 10-23-2017 at 04:23 PM. |
