Ya the sound was great. Very nice vid overall. Fun watching it!

I figured I'd post this over here, too. I saw a new owner talking about how much better a stock SS 1LE was than his prior BMW track cars.

https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showt...2#post10254142

I chimed in that I have been asked so many times by Porsche, BMW, Corvette, Mustang, etc. drivers that I have passed: "How do you like your ZL1?" They always get hurt more when I tell them "It's not a ZL1. It's just a SS 1LE." My sons and friends have seen it enough that's it's been a bit of an inside joke. So, MYPLATES for Texas allows you to order a custom plate up to seven digits. You can't run it on the car on the street without having it VIN assigned - which I don't yet as it's a bit more bragging than I want on the car all the time. However, at the track, it's kind of funny - to me.

I've only towed the 1LE once. It's a tight fit but works and I can open the drivers door too with my custom axles and escape door I ordered years ago for my (former) low drag cars. Thought you guys would like the license plate.

If / when I upgrade to a ZL1 1LE, I have a different custom plate waiting for it...

Any commentary on the new tires vs RE71Rs? Thx!

Yes, a partial lift (50% min throttle) on entry for T2, then flat all the way to the bus stop. It was my goal for the event to stay flat through the esses, first time staying flat summoned every last ouce of balls I possess! Its a weird feeling changing direction at 120mph with your foot buried! After the first time though... If I was on a fast lap, I was flat. Agreed, slicks are the best bang for the buck, without question. However, I will say- the confidence to get every last ouce of grip from some of the stickest tires around.... doesn't come without a lot of self confidence in one's abilites. I'm glad I stuck with street tires for so long as I did when I was learning as a novice/intermediate/advanced driver, it made me push the car harder everywhere & force myself to carry more momentum to keep up with guys on stickier tires I wanted to run with. This trip to the Glen, reinforced the amazing capability of the SS 1LE. The way the car soaks up the curbing in the bus stop is hard to beleive. I'm very jealous of anyone who lives within a couple hours of the Glen, it is favorite track in North America.

As for RS4 vs. RE71R: RE71R on a single quali lap might have a slight pace advantage, but I like the RS4 better overall. The RS4 was clearly developed for track days. They don't overheat during a session and grip VERY well. RS4's matched my 1:39's on RE71R's @ Mid Ohio, and dipped into the 2:10's easy @ the Glen. It's friction circle is fantastic, they communicate very well, and when they slide they do so gradually and recover quickly. Biggest plus is the wear!!! Holy Cow. 3 days @ Mid Ohio, 2 days @ Grattan, 1/2 day @ Watkins Glen, 1 day @ NCM... and they look like they've seen 1 day on track. 75%+ life left. Plus being mounted on square wheels... I can rotate corner to corner to maximize tire life. I'm extremely happy with the wheel/tire package.

No prob! Great laps, NJMP certainly looks like an awesome track!

I'd recommend trying PTM in race if I were you. You can hear PTM pulling timing very frequently when the car is perfectly stable on corner exit, I think the PZero's DH's capability slightly exceed the PTM Sport 1 or 2's program's parameters. PTM Race still works great with the Pzero's.

Is it possible to fit four tires into a Camaro to bring to track?

oh nice. i'm thinking of getting rid of my F80 M3 around Christmas for a 2019 1LE as my four year warranty expires in March.

it's good for street/track, but i want something better for track.

only ran 2:17 at WGI last week with SCDA after two dry days of lapping. my lines were good but i think i was power limited due to DSC/MDM intervention out of turns, and the stock suspension on this car is very unsettling through the esses.. should have ran with DSC off but I was on nearly done NT01s so i wanted to avoid the risk.

i think i'll give WGI another shot before getting rid of this car, however.

Totally agree with you on the M3. Mine is going back on a lease turn-in next month and I just got my 2SS 1LE. Look at my review thread for a comparison
