I had fun beating up a F430, but to be honest I think that was a case of balls, not that my car was faster/better!  As an American, I felt it my responsibility to teach the stallion a lesson.
My favorite corner is the toe where I am very fast in my Z06. The car has the power to muscle through there and believe it or not I can brake, turn and get back on at full throttle there. It feels like its going to spin out, a very strange feeling, but it doesn't. By the time we're going uphill I have 10-15mph on people and pass pretty much everybody with ease. 405hp is good! Next time you're there, try going more aggressive there. BTW, What were your dry lap times there? My best recorded lap time is a 2:15. |
I don't have any dry laps in my E92 M3, it rained all day and I was in a one day only school. In fact, I haven't even looked at the video to see what my lap times were. However, I did a 2:24.6 in my old daily driver, stock, 1998 E36 M3 on R compounds. My buddy races with the BMWCCA driving a J stock E36 M3 (very few mods) and his fast lap is like a 2:12ish. I think a 2:15 is really good for a stock Z06, I'd be surprised if I could touch that in my E92 M3. Were you on street tires? Go to here to see what speeds others are turning at the Glen:
