Don't get me wrong, I love me a P-car. My 991 GT3RS was out of this world.

But, the ZL1 1LE is a monster and very capable of keeping up with and passing all of those in your video. Let me drive it! LOL

I'll post up some video from Road Atlanta this weekend when I take mine out and show those boys who's boss.

No worries, I'm not offended by your comments and I know I'm nowhere near getting the full potential of this car yet. Yes I should be easily passing every car in the group save the .1 GT3RS, .2 GT3 and the ACR's. Yes, please post videos after this weekend

Who put on the event?

I'm from S. Oregon and want to try my hand at road racing, how much longer is the track open down there?

I will be at Rd atlanta the following weekend with Chin motorsports. Will be interesting to see your videos before it you could post them up. The gearing in this car is going to make it interesting compared to the Zo6.

There are a couple of events remaining in November @ Sonoma Raceway. More available @ Laguna Seca and Thunderhill Raceway Park. Thunderhill would be the closest to you.

Looks like a ton of fun, keep practicing you'll be passing those Porches!

I'll be at the Chin event as well, but with my spec race car.

I'll upload some ZL1 video in this thread after this weekend.

Stock setting

Sorry I missed swinging by Ben, looks fun as always. Really curious what this car is capable of at Sonoma. I'd "guess" mid 40's.

No problem, next time

I agree with you but not in my hands lol. Usually there is 10 second differential between the local tracks. Since Pobst did a 1:34 @ Laguna it would mean a 1:44 @ Sonoma and a 1:54 @ Thunderhill East cyclone configuration.

You kept it on track and shiny side up, well done!

I know I have had those "moments" when I was caught out a bit and my slides weren't as graceful as yours. LOL
