Vs C8 Corvette

[Will_]

Okay okay, this isn’t a roll race, but I had a fun battle with a C8 Corvette at Laguna Seca this past weekend. Please excuse the audio.

You are the faster driver just not the faster car.

 

[Daks]

Nice driving.

I've never driven on a track but I know every turn of that one. Great driving.

Also, I know for a fact you can just skip the corkscrew and fly on down to turn 9 if you have enough speed and good brakes. Saves some time. You're welcome.

A C8 was one car back from me a couple months ago while pulling onto the highway from a 2 lane ramp. I got the jump on him, but he couldn't pass me. He looked at me very confused once we made it out onto the open road.

Will this void my warranty?

No, you turn damage off. duh.

That guy loves his brakes. Also seems remarkably stable under trail braking, something that would have killed him in a C7 Z06.

Got to drive my friends C8. It's a phenomenal car. Hope they crack ECU tuning eventually because it needs more power.

 

[THEREALVRT]

looks like so much fun. you really nailed those corners.
What mods have you done?

Would that really help? Naturally aspirated cars don't generally benefit from ECU mods. The one place the LTx has really seen gains is in headers, which the stock ECU seems capable of adapting to.

Does LTx not benefit from E85?

JB4 Map 1, EQT coilovers, RSB, Macan BBK, 255/35/18s all around. Build thread has the full list but that’s the main stuff.

Not really, not without a turbo setup, n/a just doesn't benefit from E85.
