Take a ZL1 with oem and run consistent laps. Swap to race and try and replicate that lap. I guarantee you will blow the braking zone, slow the car more and have a lower entry speed.

Correction. You won’t slow the car any more that OEM, you will just reach your desired speed at turn in sooner. Which results in turning in earlier, which puts you in the weeds at track out. The simplest method to fix your early turn in, with race pads, is to start your braking event later. That later brake application is possible because the coefficient of friction is higher with a race pad. And the later you wait to brake, the longer you are on throttle, which results in higher speed at the point you begin braking.
Now I really surrender.
