CMP is my 'home' track, so I have the benefit of a lot of seat time! I know I'm a broken record, but I am still blown away at how much easier this car is to drive than my '21. Best evidence is being able to rip through the kink at 110 min speed with full confidence.
I felt the track was...
Speaking of torture test.. I was really itching to run the car on the SC3 but our run groups were stacked back to back. Sunday afternoon my wife ran 15 or her 20 min session, pulled in and I went straight out. Essentially zero cool down, tires were 37psi and 170° to start... ?
It's still...
My experience is ultra high Mu pads at CMP absolutely obliterate rotors in short order. I deleted the slots and ultimately shattered a set of Essex AP 372mm rings in just 3 sets of Ferodo DS3.12 at CMP. The track is fast straights and really slow corners with 4 hard braking zones so it is hell...
How many sessions between both drivers did you guys rack up? Did you ever track the car with the stock pads? I'm curious how they compare in bite (or lack thereof). I prefer/am used to a higher biting race pad but at stock power the OEM pads work surprisingly well, but you need to get deep...
Yeah, but initially I had zero issues with pedal pressure throughout the first bleed -- everything was normal. I guess coincidentally it was the last stroke where it must have sucked air from the reservoir. After the bleed I topped of the reservoir not noticing it must have gotten below the...
When I did mine I clamped the line, but not well enough, so it dripped for 10 or so seconds until I could get it sorted. Topped off the reservoir and proceeded to bleed seemingly without issue. Put everything back to together and stepped on the clutch pedal and it went straight to the floor...
Hey! Small world! Nice chatting with you guys!
We had a blast and her first time tracking the car was a great success. She managed a 1:48.7 Sunday afternoon which I'm super proud of.
Surprisingly 35-36psi hot seemed to be the sweet spot. I tried airing them down quite a bit for a...
These are for my C7Z but I'll have them on track at VIR in November. The weather conditions will hopefully be ideal but weather aside, I have historical lap times for (worn out) CR-S v2, fresh SC 3R and Pirelli scrubs to compare to.
This little high horse circle jerk is cute and all, but conveniently and obtusely ignores the context.. My point was an essentially stock car with just a tire change does not absolutely require -4° of camber to be successful. No one in that configuration is trying to be the "fastest"...
The key distinction here is full-on race car vs dual purpose/street car.. An advanced driver with a basic track setup doesn't need -4 (and all of the hardware to achieve it) to be successful on an RE71RS or similar. If you've got all of the suspension, all of the aero and all of the power then...
