I had a 2021 that I tracked. I'm a diehard stick shift guy, though; I got bored of the auto and bought a C7Z M7 to track and eventually sold the Supra. I still love the hell out of the C7Z but I just sold my C8 so I'm looking for another stick car stablemate. There's nothing else in this...
The C8Z is by far the best combination of a livable/usable daily and a weekend track weapon. The market is leveling off as supply has picked up and with the release of the E-ray, etc.. Markups are wayyy down and there occasionally MSRP deals popping up. Amazing value at MSRP, IMO. As for...
Speaking of CR-S.. I ran them in the rain last week for the first time and they were feckin worthless. I don't think this is a major surprise, but I expected a little more. The car was totally undriveable. Packed it in after 2 miserable sessions.
Depends on the state; at fault vs. no fault. And then there's subrogation. With a good policy it doesn't really matter.
So... Unless you have an agreed value or some other boutique policy, chances are you are 99.9% fuct when it comes to a payout on a total loss. Most big box providers...
I use Grundy for agreed value coverage for all of my worthwhile cars. They've never asked about mods, HP, or even mileage and have never questioned the value I assigned. All they've required is a few pictures. They do have stringent qualification requirements, though. Technically it is a...
Approximately how many heat cycles is 4.5 days? I had 13 at VIR and then at CMP a few weeks later they were already a second off the AR-1. AR-1 for me started to fall off at 10 and by 15 they were about worthless.
Looking at the data my quickest laps are at 30-32psi so I try to stay at...
Surprised to hear the V730 last longer!
Different cars, tracks, etc.. so all FWIW... My experience with the AR-1 vs CR-S v2 is a little different. I never had any issue with AR-1 and vibrations but they definitely howled on the street. Life was abysmal but they were quick. I just switched...
Ignoring the price difference how would you compare the V730 to the CR-S?
RE: ECF -- I'm guessing the 200 rating is a product market fit strategy. They are known as an "endurance" 200 which they definitely achieve, but pace-wise they are a bit more on par with a 300TW. If they were...
I haven't run the 730's but I ran 2 sets of ECF on my C8 and C7Z. They are the best true dual purpose tire, IMO. Wear like iron, predictable, fairly consistent through a 20 min session, work ok in the wet, quiet on the street, etc.. On my C8 I did 8-9 track days and 6000 street miles and they...
The only thing they have in common is 4 wheels and a steering wheel. They are so completely different in every aspect. If you can give me some specifics I can compare/contrast. The C8 is a phenomenal road car/cruiser; if it had adaptive cruise control it would be nearly perfect. As far as...
Well... I bought a Supra, bought a C8, bought a C7 Z06 M7. Tracked all 3. Sold the Supra.. ?‍♂️
That said, I will have another Supra -- a 6sp -- at some point, I'm sure. There's really nothing else in the 50-60k range that checks all of the boxes.
Cool - If I can get 5ish worthwhile days out of these I'll be stoked.
I had similar odd wear patterns but it didn't seem to have any meaningful effects. I think they'd be a great time attack tire because they are quick and ready to rip, but yeah.. the life is abysmal..
I have high...
That wear doesn't look terrible. I'd think they'd hold up a lot better on a lighter car. My experience on my C7Z with 305f 325r is they are indeed loud, but not as obnoxious as say an R888R. They get quieter with less tread. ? This was my first set at 16 heat cycles and a few hundred street...
