Great article on how the ZL1 improved it's ring time.
How did the new Camaro ZL1 cut 12 seconds off the old one’s Nürburgring time?

Drew Cattell is one Hell of a driver. That's the kind of handling engineer I want to see on the team creating this beast & having the tech trickle down through the entire Camaro platform. That video is impressive & a great read with the quotes from Al Oppenheiser.

But the new Eagle F1 Supercar 3 rubber uses a different compound, offering more grip. Al Oppenheiser estimates the tire change took two seconds off the lap time.
Wonder if these will hit the market next year so I can try them on my car before I trade up in 2018?

Would've liked to hear more about the M6's run and how far behind it was.

That is one hell of a driver, at the last stretch the car seems to be shaking a lot as it crawled towards 180mph!

The lighter weight (now 3,944 lbs/1,812kg with automatic transmission)
THIS! I wondered the weight with an auto and now I have it. I would have liked a bit less, but I've got no legitimate complaints. That's roughly 300lbs lighter than my car. |
