I've seen this on 1LE facebook group page, it would be nice to see him driving mine at our home track (ORP) and hear his feedback

Heres a link for someone posting their HPDE event at Road America to Youtube. Tickled 140 on the front stretch....

I am still on the Original Pads 12k miles and several autoX's. The only thing I did to prep for the track was Castrol SRF brake fluid. I had no fade issues. I think these cars are 100% track worthy off the showroom floor if you swap out the oil for Dexos 2 5W40. I even think the tires are the perfect balance of grip and streetability.

I don't know that 191 is true for the ZL1 1LE due to the drag from the aero. Perhaps that's the correct # for the ZL1.

I thought the same, but i'm looking at my 2018 brochure now and that's what it says. Regular ZL1 is 198.
