Would 18's fit a ZL1 with the bigger rotors?

It looks like it's possible with certain wheels (like some custom wheels that clear the huge 15.5" CCBs on Corvettes) , see this thread for related discussion

Obviously not a track shot, but a good shot none the less on the Tail of The Dragon.

That was with traffic in NASCAR and never getting the most out of the car in the esses or south bend. I think a 2:01 is easily doable on P-Zeros. My car on P-Zero's @ VIR is something special. I didn't want to get out of the car. I'll post vids of the ZL1 and mine on slicks later this evening. I also took some in-car footage of the ZL1 1LE which I'll attempt to overlay with PDR (I know some guys have used race render I beleive.)

2:05 for a stock car with a minor tire upgrade is an impressive lap. Interesting you went square on the tire size, why not 305 all the way around? 3 second gain for R's sounds about right.

EDIT: your car looked superbly balanced and composed, while the ZL1 1LE looked a bit "scrappy" on the vids anyway. Feedback on handling "feel" of both?

Yeah, the ZL1 1LE was a bit scrappy, mostly because the alignment walked considerably on the first day, and the Goodyear R3’s have a very narrow window of happiness. After driving the ZL1 on the street after VIR... the alignment is JACKED (just like my SS 1LE after my first track event). It’s going in next week for alignment, I’ll ask for a baseline to illustrate how much it moved.

As for comparion- my SS 1LE felt supremely composed and easier to push harder faster, than the ZL1 1LE. The ZL1 1LE is a more difficult car to get the most from, but that also makes it supremely engaging and nuanced. The ZL1 1LE feels like a race car on track, the grip, body control and aero take time to trust and fully exploit for most drivers. It’s a very special feeling car, that feels more like a supercar than a sportscar. I’m lucky to have access to both.

Stock I think, not many wheels in ZL1 1LE offsets yet.

Thanks, yeah the car is mega at VIR. I’m running 295/30 20’s on the OE “10’s and “11’s. Not tons of tire options for OE wheels, agreed on 305 square, but need at least “10.5’s to run 305’s.

Yeah wasn't really thinking about the rim width on the front being the limiting factor.

Since you have driven the ZL1 1LE and a SS 1LE have you sampled the regular ZL1 on track? I'm torn here between a new 1lE or a lightly used ZL1. It would be a daily driver with multiple visits to the track annually.

If I had to choose between the two, personally I would always go for the most powerful option, but that's just me.

A little disappointed.

Thx for your comments Provoste!

All you bro needs to do is to get a ZL1 and your family will own them all
Now that would be one heck of a "comparo" vid!
