What exact alignment are you running? Generally I will cord the inside on Lightning first vs. Outside. U can use a IR temp gauge to check what to do with your alignment to make it more appropriate. I ended up backing it down form -3.5 down to -2.7 and I get better wear with little impact to time.

My goal is 1:09:xx for lighting- stock (brake pads upgrade only) on 3rs

That SS was stock "Supposedly" with the only mod being brake pads. That MF'er was fast! Fukken' Fast!

We definitely need to run it back with fresh tires. hahahaha I think with new tires I would have been in the 12s.

Insides were fine. All of my serious wear was on the outer edges.

I can’t believe it was stock. You should have eaten his lunch on that straightaway.

The ZL1 doesn't start to stretch it's legs until 5th gear. It's a dead heat up to 130mph especially if he knows how to get a good drive out of the corner.

Either way, the video was fun to watch. Thanks for posting!
