Autocrossed the 368 car today... - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

The local SCCA had their autocross out at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway today so I decided to take the Jeal car our for test drive

Well she did great. She's well balanced and has lots of power when you need it. The biggest issue was the rubber. The KDW's are great on the road but they weren't the right rubber for the track...

There was a totally stock 92 LT1 Vette there as well and he was always about 4 seconds faster. He had sticky rubber and the guy is good... Would love to learn his technique... Now I have a goal...

Still had a great time. I ended up shaving 5 seconds off by the end of the day. Not too bad for me anyways...

BTW - I had a guy tell me that he loved the body kit. I he said it was the nicest looking C4 he's ever seen. He said he loved the way the gills flow to the rockers and then to the rear wheels... well at least it made me feel good!

Cheers,
RH

Nope,

I'm a crap head... You should have seen all the different camera mounts these guys had. Most had them stuck to the outside of their cars... First time I've seen these...
