Well done! Roebling looks like a simple, boring track, but it’s tough to get it right and be quick there. 16 is really impressive on stock rubber.

The new surface is much more tire friendly, but doesn't change the fact that you are cornering almost the whole lap. It is definitely faster. I took my M3 and set my PB of 1:17.5 in June, which was...

I replaced the bolts and torqued to spec, even bought a fancy angle measuring wrench for the task. If I ran a track with any curb hopping the rear toe went haywire. Gotta do the links.

It’s fine on the street. It just takes a little longer to warm up before it shifts smoothly. I made the switch because I was having some issues with quick downshifts at the end of a track session...

I put the Tremec fluid in my ZLE. Better shifting at track temps, but worse cold on the street.

I doubt you will be able to mark it well enough to do that. Front toe measurement and adjustment is pretty easy so just check and adjust as needed. Unless you do a lot of street driving vs track...

My experience with the Tremec fluid was that shifting was rather balky when cold, but smoother at track temps than stock fluid.

I’m sure the algorithm has improved. I know some manufacturers are also using some type of sensor to monitor condition that factors into the calculation. Don’t know about GM.

The OLM seems to be pretty smart. Mine went from 100% to zero in just four track days, or about 500 miles. I'd trust what it says.

We put both cars on the scales while we were at the track. My ZLE was 3830 and the GT500 was about 4200. Both with just over half tank of fuel, no drivers.
