They mentioned on a specific track length that they were about the same time I think.

Based on the length of straights, locations and number of turns that counted, I ended up pulling farther and farther away each section. Not leaving in the dust pulling away, but enough to notice the distance after a lap or two. In a track that's split up power and technical, the 1LE and Gen6 SS are pretty evenly matched. It's only when you go more power or more technical that one gives up more to the others. Which is an expected result given the 1LE favoring technical and the Gen6 having more raw power. Even with my OEM pads/rotors (4/2 style) on it, I wasn't really losing too much and was braking hard and deep in to turns myself, just like he was. The owner even stopped me after a couple sessions and we chatted some about both cars. Was a nice guy (he and his brother). Gen6 1LE, if building upon Gen5 and using Gen6SS as a stepping stone, is going to be a serious contender on tracks. For those of you that haven't run your Gen6 anywhere yet, you'd be surprised what the car is capable of as it doesn't really show it just driving around and that's the non-track variants. I got a lot of respect and compliments from other enthusiasts out there.

This is true about the 5th gen 1le. It brakes, turns in and holds speed through a corner amazingly. It's only once you track out of the corner and hit a longish straight you feel like you are down on power. I passed a lot of fancy cars on my last track day. Including a C7 and GT350. But without some hotlaps from a consistent guy like RP thats just an amusing anecdote
PS I was running track pads

I think they said the 6gen will be a fast as the 5gen 1LE. Probably around the Milford track. The new SS was only .45 slower than the 5gen 1LE around streets of willow.

Fleet Order guide is updated.

A few items I saw.

V6 LT 1LE is a 2LT. It comes with FE3 suspension - which is the stock SS suspension.

1SS 1LE comes with FE4 suspension - which is the same as the ZL1.
