I also know one C8 guy who is on his 3rd transmission.
G Speed has done some track prepped C8s and they have been very fast, like 4 -5 secs faster on the same tire. Don't know what those mods cost.
Then there is the jump in the budget for running an $80K or more car.
This tracked prepped one is 10 secs faster than me on G3Rs.

I have driven C8s and the big difference is the turn in. Without the weight over the nose the car changes direction more readily. Agree a lot don't seem faster at the track but I have assumed its the drivers, or they weren't set up for the track per the manual.
But this guy...wow he is stuck to the pavement. I am almost exactly the same speed in the big straights but he just smokes turn 2 into the esses and turns 16-18 over 90mph is amazing. 80+ at turn 19 as well. Would like to know that set up over the base Z51. I see the spoiler. Assuming slicks also.
