Ever Wonder how 6th Gen 1LE stack up against C8?
This was at Mid Ohio recently. Well driven C8.

C8 is definitely a faster car, the gearbox, power to weight, the flat floor(aero) and mid engine.
Our Camaros are still good but it's not as good as the C8. |

Wow, that picture makes it look like you bought two different sizes of scale models.

The C8 is faster with equal drivers...

Nice driving. Is that NJMP Lightning? Looks like a fun track.

Cool. I haven't done either one yet, but would like to get there next year.

I imagine that a ZL1 would take care of a C8 Z51

A fair comparison would be if the Camaro had the A10.
I don't think the C8 corvette is an huge improvement. Maybe the Z06 and ZR1, but we need to compare those against C7 Zr1 |

Straight off the dealership lot they run very similar lap times but you have to remember a c8 z51 has much worse tires on it. I’d bet if you put on super car 3’s on the c8 z51 it’d be a good 2 seconds faster than the ss 1le. There actually isn’t a huge improvement between a10 and m6 for roadcourse work.

Luckily, I had an experience to see a couple and raced a few from a roll out here in Arizona Half Mile Drag Strip a while back. I had a great time. I have SS 1LE M6 and I was shocked when I came back looking at the scoreboard how well I did. I can only imagine having a A10 it will be up there with a Z06. After this event I did a few mods like changed the LT2/91 tb to a MSD/Ported 103 TB and new tune with some weight reduction, so I am curious to see how it do at the next event. Overall, I can't wait to see some out at road course.
