Never ran G locks, but had tried XP10s on my 17 and they felt very similar to stockers, yet didnt last as long (the fronts were done completely after 4 days). |

They used to call for changing oil after 4 hours on track, but I can’t find that any more. I guess they decided the algorithm used by the indicator was adequate. The owners manual does call for changing transmission oil every 15 hours, and differential oil every 24 hours. Use the car hard, need to maintain it hard. I just changed all of my fluids again.... |

NB i believe the 4hr interval is still there for a V6 motor. |

But, it is always good to have other perspectives. I may try Ferodo 2500s at some point, they actually seem a bit cheaper from Strano. Cheers! |

Anybody know how many track days a clutch will last in a ZLE?

Well, it is warrantied for 5 yrs, or 100k incl track use, under driveline warranty.
Havent heard of any clutch issues per se on gen6. Did about 60 days on my previous SS 1LE with zero mechanical issues from any components. Cheers! |

I'm a little uneasy about XP8's for track duty on cars that weigh this much . . . I managed to put a lot of thermal cracks in a set of 8's while they'd still pass tech at 50% of original friction thickness. Norm

I didn't know the clutch has warranty. I just assumed since it was a consumable that it wouldn't be. |

I choose 8's because the events I do are typically TT style, requiring a fast lap right out of the gate. On my road race cars, I've had great luck with R16 and R20's. Best regards, Dave

I too share your concern about XP8 on a heavy car. Back in a day, i only used it as a rear pad on my C5Z as the car benefited from a staggered torque (unlike the Camaro). All the best! |

Who knows. Mine has held up very well, with zero signs of any issues. I would not consider a clutch to be a consumable at all, but rather part of a driveline system like tranny, ediff, etc. Parts that are treated as consumables are tires, brake rotors and pads. From a budgeting pov i also treat fluids as consumables, but of course those fall under a different category altogether. Cheers! |
