If you are already swapping wheels and tires, swapping pads too is easy. Why waste a good pad on the street? Good track pads make lots of noise. You can compromise if you want but I wouldn't...

Right now I'm on some RSR sport coilovers that are really just meant for the street. Spring rates are 6K front and 7K rear. I'll be upgrading to JRZ or MCS dampers here soon. Spring rates will most...

Lets just say between the price of the car and build I could have a lightly used C7 Grandsport which would probably be faster unless I throw aero and Hoosier R7's on my car but that's not why I built...

Car still handles great! You don't really notice the extra 120 lbs with triple the torque. You do notice the car has a slightly higher CoG in the front end but honestly most of the extra weight is in...

My new track car

I sold my ZL1 to build this car mostly to save money on tires and brakes after spending over 7 grand on tires in 1 year. Thought some here still might enjoy since it's a Chevy at heart. Please excuse...

Nice to see the local tax payer dollars being put to good use haha, those laser guns aren't cheap! Which is why you see KA radar still being used in most of the country.

I'm 190 and feel like I'm absolutely swimming in the ZL1 Recaros. To me it seems like seats were designed for someone weighing about 240-260 lbs. I'd say if you can manage to lose 20-30 lbs (easier...

Just a tip, make sure you go oem glass or your HUD might end up being blurry like mine was. Like the guy said above, I’d consider myself lucky the damage wasn’t worse.

Just a "heads up" to those replacing their windshield that your HUD will be slightly blurry if you don't go with oem glass, at least that was my experience.

If you just drive on the street and don't do burnouts it won't be an issue. If you go to the track expect 2 days out of a set of tires. Heavy powerful cars kill tires easily!
