WTB used or new GY 3R's fronts only

Just saw my fronts are cording with lots of tread left. The Alignment didn't hold apparently. If anyone has a set to let go please contact me.

I'm very happy with the regular ZL1 for daily driving. I also track it hard and it's awesome there too. Perfect blend. Besides having to align the car(also 1LE's) often from the track it's a gem. I...

Cool, sine I have the normal ZL1 so I like Willow Springs, since Laguna doesn't have it listed but Willow Springs does.

Yep the 1LE represented well and I agree with Randy being the best value. But you have to give props to the GT500 being 10 mph faster in the straights according to randy. I'd love to own one but not...

On this short course the 1LE took the win. Camaro 36:11 vs Shelby 36:27.

This was from a dig and the Camaro bogged on the start but it's a win for...

That's the way to say goodbye to the warranty. That's how I would do it. Look forward to the number differences.

I kept melting starters on my C6Z from tracking with headers. Sad to see this happen on the ZL1 but this is another reason I track it stock to keep the warranty. If the shield works you could help...

The A10 is awesome and does rev-match but there is a noticeable weight shift. I guess they couldn't make it as smooth as a PDK or DCT. On some of the corners on track, for instance, I wait for the...

So far I've only run the ZL1 with PBOCflorida at Sebring and SCCA. I'm going to try to go to PBOC for KRFL in Sept and Winterfest in January.

I agree with prior comments. It's amazing how much exit speed does to a lap time. The ZL1, IMO, is harder to track than the SS 1LE also. In the later you can use more of the throttle and it's...
