My friend (X25) and I attended an Instructor Training event at ORP (Oregon Raceway Park) yesterday.
There were a couple Gen5 Z28s at the event also but didn't get a chance to lap with them and see how my car would stand against those. Since the training was taking place for full day, nobody really could get any clean lap time. With that said, it was still fun and a good opportunity to see how the car feels
WOW, this car feels great and definitely track ready with just a little bit of understeer. Tons of power, grip everywhere and the breaking power! The brakes on any car I've ever owned/built/tracked (thanks to ST43s ).. PERIOD!! Tire temps were about 37-38 after a few hot laps (ambient temps were about 55) so I am almost sure in a hot day it would be very easy to overheat them. Using R comps should take care of that and also let me brake late.
Here are some pictures and a video from that day:

Fire extinguisher use practice which I didn't want to partake
I used Race Render to create a split screen video and was using RaceChrono along with PDR. Akron headrest and Go Pro bar mount
This is the cleanest/least traffic lap that I had a chance to push the car a little bit:
