1. The F80 has a lot of issues putting its power down either in a straight line or at corner exit on the track, especially with my tune. While test driving the ZLE on the street it seemed to put power down well but that could just be traction control and my not noticing it kicking in. How well does the ZLE put the power down when going 9/10ths at the track? How does it compare to the F80 in terms of traction?
What kind of power was the M putting down? Are we talking stock 1LE vs tuned M?
Here is a video of my tuned 1LE at the track.(I am new to tracking)
2. How difficult is it to achieve the track times that you tend to see in the magazines? I know some cars are easier than others to reach their limits. Im a pretty good driver but I'm no Randy.
It all DRIVER car is just the tool, if you can’t stay on the line and figure out what the car is telling you; you will be slow
3. Given that this car has aero, do you have to drive it differently than a non aero car? I read that with big aero you have to try and maintain more speed to keep it effective. Not sure if that's the case here.
It has the power to back up the aero. I won’t go into the nuances of racing because we are all at different levels. (I am still new)
4. Will the ZLE have a harder time on smaller tracks like Club motorsport or Thompson speedway? My M3 tends to do very well there and I don't want to take a step back.
Not sure.
5. Can the ZLE hold its own at Autox? I run with local clubs and tend to run top of the pack. I'm not looking for FTD, just don't want to drop out of the top. The only classing we have is based on tire type, nothing really competitive.
Not sure
