Thanks. No issue whatsoever. Brake travel got a little longer after the first session but I think it was due to not bedding the brakes prior to the event. The brakes are really phenomenal even with the stock pads and I didn't experience any fade. I do have a set of Ferodo DS1.11 brake pads on order and will give them a try next. Ambient temps were in the mid to high 60's. Great day to be out on track but not a good day to test if the car will overheat or not.

That is a lot to manage for your first outing. It took me a few events to really trust how well the ZL1 sticks in a corner. Your 5 seconds should be eliminated with trust and familiarity.

I appreciate your comments. I'm sure it will play out just like you say. You've been spot on about everything else.

Thanks. It was a lot of fun. I haven't been this excited about a car in a while. I had a GT350 and GT350R lined up for purchase last year. I'm so glad I didn't pull the trigger.
