I imagine it appeared like I was ‘Tokyo drifting’ down the highway... the massive 305 front tires still had grip apparently because it snapped back into a straight line and I continued on as if nothing happened.. all happened in seconds.. not fun at all..
Yes, these wheels and tires are coming off and I am putting on a set of Apex wheels wrapped in Michelin PS4S for street duty. The stock wheels and R compound tires will be exclusively for use at VIR and other track days.

So true and it's pretty crazy on the 1st couple of laps at the track too. I continually test and watch tire temps before going full out. After that the 3Rs are awesome.
I have a second set of wheels with PS4s for the street and that works well, but if I ever wear the PS4s out I'll go back with 3Rs so I have extras at the track and just drive careful on the street.

BTW, thanks for the input over PM a while back. Got my heat issues resolved, trans was overfilled 1L...by GM. Corrected that and it runs great, so you called it.

I had a ZL1 with A10 and ZLE M6. My times are almost identical. ZLE with neg camber and track suspension equaled out the A10 benefits.
No doubt the way to go is ZLE + A10 for the best times.
