Honestly, my thoughts haven't changed much. Personally, I don't see any major advantage to this suspension over the MRC. Maybe it's there and it takes a pro-driver to extract it, but I haven't found it. I feel like the MRC is just as fast on the track and waaaay better on the street.

First overall - Tom O'Gorman (Professional Driver. Google his name.) He was running a heavily modified SS automatic. It had ZL1 aero, a rear diffuser, aftermarket exhaust, lightweight race seats, coilover suspension, and 335s front and rear on lightweight 18s (yeah, 335s in the front!) Second overall - Michael Laffey (not driving a Camaro, but added for completeness) Heavily modified C7 Corvette Z06 on slicks. Third overall - Jason Anderson He has a Calloway SS automatic. I believe it has a rebuilt engine with forged internals, etc. It has a 2300 supercharger, BMR sway bars, oil cooler, SS 1LE wheels and tires, ZL1 1LE rear airfoil. His car is a good bit faster than my ZL1. It would pull away from me on the straights, but that's not to take anything away from Jason. He is one hell of a good driver.

We can take this out of this thread if you want - did not mean to derail it...
https://timetrials.growsites.net/eve.../overall?clean O'Gorman was in Tuner 2 according to the results. 335's puts you in Tuner 1 as Tuner 2 is 315 max for non-AWD. Looks like he was on BFG Rival S's (or S 1.5's). The rear diffuser added is supposed to put you into Max. If he had head / cam type of engine work, that's not Tuner either. Laffey's slicks - supposed to be 200TW even in Max. Non-DOT and / or less than 200TW gets you Unlimited or 200TW and less than 7/32" tread depth, etc. Anderson's Callaway seems correct in Prepped 1 just based on what you listed. My Regional SCCA for Time Trials does some minor peer teching AFTER the event. I'm used to NHRA Divisional / National tech where it is BEFORE the event, and during plus after. I'm not saying that the above guys knowingly were not in the correct class. Just looking at the rules as our Regional TT's may be following them next year - they are not this year. In fact, in my opinion, it's a joke this year. They got rid of PAX. Everything from Super Street to F-Street has no PAX and run head's up. So, a ZL1 1LE has no time penalty against a V6 Camaro. https://timetrials.scca.com/pages/sp...ory-full-rules https://timetrials.scca.com/pages/cat2fullrules https://timetrials.scca.com/pages/cat3fullrules/ https://timetrials.scca.com/pages/class4fullrules https://timetrials.scca.com/pages/unlimited-category |

Travis, I'm still not buying my car pulls you much on the straights. If that's the case an A10 must pull you like crazy.
SC630: 0-60 3.6, 1/4 mile 11.6 @ 125 ZL1 Manual: 0-60 3.7, 1/4 mile 11.8 @ 125 ZL1 Auto: 0-60 3.5, 1/4 mile 11.4 @ 127 But yeah they didn't enforce the rules at all which was BS. It rained all night Saturday and the morning of Sunday it was still misting and soaked. They announced that you could change tires. I thought the number 1 rule of the entire thing was 1 set of tires and they even stamped them during tech inspection. None of it mattered though because like Travis said they didn't even look at the tires just stamped them. Slicks were good to go as well as G3Rs in the street tire classes. They don't enforce the rules and make you protest someone to make you the bad guy if you have to. |

The A10 will pull on an M6 like crazy. Like I said though, I'm not trying to take anything away from you as a driver. We could trade cars and I'm sure you'd still run a better time than me... However, your car is very fast and it does pull away from mine on the straights. Next time we're at the track together, maybe we can stage a comparison down the front stretch.

Yeah. I think I can stage up behind you in a way they won't know what we're doing. You'll just need to lift out of the corner so I can sync speeds with you. Then we'll both accelerate at the same time, and I'll capture it with the PDR. Maybe not a perfect test, but it should be good enough to show what I'm talking about.

Im not taking sides in this thread, but I lost to you Travis by around .7 of a second in a regular 2ss camaro, vs you in a zl1. That's a 200hp advantage over me. You Lost to Jason by around 3.5 seconds. Taking nothing away from his car being faster , but your car is hands down faster then mine. This was a very even test. We all had same tires. I think it's more jason has better corner and exit speed and it shows down the straits , maybe your video will show different. But I don't think it will. If that's the case based on being a faster car you should have bested me by several seconds . he just had his shit together and ran so killer laps. I also ran my fastest 155.1 lap. The pressure of completion gave everyone the boost to try harder

I have nothing but respect for you and Jason. You both are better drivers than I am. Please understand, I wasn't trying to take anything away from Jason by stating his car is faster than an M6 ZL1. I was just trying to provide the best context I could to a question that was asked of me.
