Thanks Mr.T! That was my first real open lapping session there. And in a car with the aero, lots to work up to! Used pilot super sports, could have used a few less psi, but the point here is to provide a consistent testing bed, driven hard, but not necessarily setting any lap records… I also try to be a little more careful when it’s not my car ;) but really nice to not have to worry about temps and just focus on driving. This car also has the uniball suspension setup with bumpsteer and camber kits- running about -3.0°f/-2.5°r, so the tire wear is near perfect. No more shredded shoulders after 1 session. And the car is really planted without feeling harsh on the street. Cheers 👍🏼
Nice job Pete. If you're ever in my area please know you're more than welcome to take my 2017 Callaway 25th Special Anniversary Z06 out on any track you'd like. Besides all the excellent cooling management changes Callaway has made, your short throw shifter is one of the best, if not the best, shifter I've ever had in the many manuals I've own over the years! Great video and day at the track...
Thanks Richard, that's a very kind offer! Look forward to meeting you someday. Glad you are happy with the car; agree with you on the shifter- makes all the difference. Save the manuals!
Austin( Speed Phenom) has a great UA-cam channel! Check out His interview on the C8 Z-O6! I hope that You crack the ECM on the base C8. It would be great to see what a cam change would do!
That’s was something serious driving in the heat my friend! And seeing the coolant and oil stabilize in 100+ ambient at that pace….wow!

Great driving and outstanding engineering feet, with the A/C blowing cold!! 🥶
This was entertaining to watch… way to go, Pete 🚗💨
