Camaro SS 1LE vs C8 Corvette @Road Atlanta

- Опубліковано 21 чер 2021
- At Road Atlanta with Jzilla. Had the pleasure of sharing the track with a C8 corvette. He gridded behind me so you can see him in my mirrors most of the session. I eventually point him by and he pulls away but doesn't leave my sights. My guess is he rode behind me to build confidence and applied what he learned. I had fun out there at Road Atlanta. Hope you enjoy the video!

How many new cars exist, for 45k, with a diff cooler, oil cooler and handle the road this well? Answer....NONE!!! The 1LE is the most car for your money.
As a 1LE owner, this makes my happy! Another 50hp and the C8s advantage on the straights would have disappeared.
To be honest the C8 aerodynamic wedge shape will still give it the edge on the straights
@@gizmotron2030 yup. Do you run GM intake with tune as well?
@@al151 no intake or tune. Drivetrain is completely stock. Just have wheels, tires, brake rotors, pads, and brake fluid. Car is still under GM’s warranty to include track warranty (3yr/60k mile power train warranty). Once that’s up then I may do some things.
@@LuisDiaz-gq2nf 3LT is an options package for bells and whistles not a performance upgrade package. At least get that right if you’re gonna talk trash. But don’t worry I got you. You mean the “Z51” package ;).
@@LuisDiaz-gq2nf 🤦🏾♂️
I had the opportunity to drive my 2017 A8 2SS around the track a few years ago during a break in the vintage car race day. So much fun! My passenger was screaming during the s turn at 95 mph, lol. I now own a 2017 ZL1 10 speed and I’m thinking about joining the driving club at road Atlanta. I’m a fan of IMSA and make it down there for petit le man every year!!
Love both cars. Win, win!
Great racing! Please keep these track videos coming!
God, this looks like so much fun. That Camaro is awesome 👌 great upload!
Thank you!
That was badass! Want a Camaro so bad never used to be into this s*** that look like one hell of a ride hella skills
Ever since this came out I've wanted one.🤤
Great video! Just ordered my 2SS 1LE almost a month ago, super stoke to get mine and see what its got!
Nice driving! Running out 3rd gear a little more will probably help you pick up a tenth or two. 1le’s are awesome! I drive mine hard as well.
That's hilarious. I was literally just watching him row gears thinking the same thing. I was like, "3-4 at 99-100 mph???" I have a 2019 Camaro SS 1le. He definitely is not pulling top RPM or speed shifting early like that.
that looks so fun 😄 one day I'll get the chance to let my 1le eat on a track 🤞
Impressive!!
This track looks fast on the speedo
Question, first time seeing this channel.. Do you have the PDR?? I HAVE one in mine but haven't tracked it or used the PDR yet. Other than checking to see how it looks/works and memory card compatibility
Unfortunately I don’t have PDR :(
Teach me your ways!!.
Nice I’m from Atlanta and love Camaros and vettes
They are fun cars to drive
@@gizmotron2030 they seem like it
I have a 22 2ss 1le and love the car. I was wondering what tires are you running? I recommend Cup 2s with 315 rear and 295 fronts. You can definitely shave more time. They fit on the stock wheels.
RE-71r 305 squared was the setup at the time.
Great!
SS stock? What tires, pads and fluid?
What psi was u running on your tires?
Im telling you man. They built the 1LE too well. Lmao. I love my 1LE, but still planning on trading into a C7 Z06 or GS eventually. I made the mistake of test driving a Z51 and fell even more in love with the C7. Problem is if you want to upgrade from an SS 1LE, you gotta go to a GS or Z06 😅
Nice driving man! That was a great pass on the yellow vette! By any chance you get and shots of a white vw R out there? I think you and I traded passes a couple times
What group where you in? If you were in red with me I might have. I’ll check my other videos anyway and see if I got you on camera.
@@gizmotron2030 yup red group! White vw R #0
@@blackcat.racing I have a clip of you but it’s after the session ended.
@@gizmotron2030 dang!
Was this a HPDE or a Club event? I drove my SS around the track years ago but we couldn't exceed 60mph! I now have a 1LE and don't really want to track it but would love to take it out there and I live in the area also.
It was a HPDE. Motorsportsreg.com is the place to start. You’ll find info on events at road Atlanta and other surrounding areas.
@@gizmotron2030 Thanks for the reply. You live in the area too?
@@JoeSmith-nu8oo I live about 2hrs away
@@gizmotron2030 Fun drive to the track!
Whats the green and red led bar on the dash for?
ApexPro gps tracker
what's the LED light thing on the dash?
ApexPro gps tracker
Cab you tell me what the box lighting up is? I keep seeing them. & where to get?
It’s a shift light
@@adamperry6133 Thank you. Do you know what model & brand?
@@KP18793 I don’t know that but I’m sure many companies make them
It’s not a shift light. It’s an ApexPro.

i can't figure it out if this is kph or mph because of the video quality because it look like kph but i'm not sure.... nice driving fun to watch it
Thank you! It’s MPH 🙂
nice
I know it's a bit older Video but what Tires on the SS ?
Bridgestone RE-71R
What is that on the dash?
It’s an ApePro gps device that acts like a digital driving coach. Tracks lap times, lateral and longitudinal data and speed as well as other data. Gives real time cornering grip data as well.
C8 not worth the extra 30K my opinion
...bro...that M3 point by then he still chased you into the corner on the outside.
comeon.
@ 2:38 he did.
Any over heating issues?
Nope. Best bang for buck turn key track car. Has all the cooling you need ;)
It’s gorgeous in that thumbnail. Maybe some matte stripes would make it better.
Cute gloves.
What organization was this?
This was with Jzilla
@@gizmotron2030 cool. My wife was there in her Miata that weekend. This the red run group?
@@gmjonn9088 yes it is
@@gizmotron2030 Cool, I will check them out!! Nice driving sir 👍
Now see how well you can do on 245 all season tires like I have .
You can swap tires for the track. Btw there’s a video out where someone tracked one on all seasons. Lmk if you want the link ;)
This video is proof racing is not for me lol. Seeing the Corvette or any car behind me while Im doing 137mph is way too annoying LOL
…I should of bought this car when I had the chance…😢
I'm assuming the C8 was a Z51?
It was a base C8 corvette. He was a good driver.
@@gizmotron2030 Looks like a Z51 actually, it has the Z51-exclusive spoiler. I also don't think a standard C8 would remotely keep up with a 1LE on the track.
@@nickydrifts all the C8 corvettes can get that spoiler. The “high wing” spoiler is specific to the Z51. Another thing you’re over looking is how balanced the C8 is. With a good driver and good set of tires it’s going to beat a lot of cars. The z51 pack just builds upon that. The z51 comes with black wheels and a front lip for aesthetics. Look at this video to see a z51 on track.
C8 Corvette Z51 vs BMW M4 Competition @Road Atlanta.
It’s one of my vids where I drive a M4 and a z51 C8 kicks my but.
@@gizmotron2030 Then that's really impressive... a base SS would definitely struggle to keep up but a base C8 does it no issue.
@@nickydrifts owner (or someone who knew him) of the C8 emailed me and said it was a Z51 pack. My bad.
