Thanks. The ZL1 1LE guys are finding they last about 4 track "days", which seems about right. We'll see as the year goes on and we all get more data points.
As for fitment, I'm going to go with NO, you need camber plates to make these clear with a track alignment of at least -2.5 deg camber.
Since it was above freezing out today I did a test fitment, this is what the strut looks like after a salty Michigan winter, Moreno camber plates maxed out inboard and the knuckles pulled back for -2.6 deg camber.

There's clearance, but that's because the camber plates create about an inch of room.
Also something interesting. These Supercar 3R's are very clearly a dual compound carcass. You can see the compound color difference between the sidewall and the tread. They also have a significantly different gumminess. The tread compound is much harder and will obviously need some heat to get sticky, just like a Hoosier R7.

Here are some fitment shots of the front. Even with good camber they still protrude a bit. The clag will be everywhere.

Ok, the winter tires are back on and the S3R's are back in the basement until winter is over.
The good news is my ZL1 brake hoses shipped, so when the weather breaks it'll be brake and swaybar time.
