The Good news:
Been waiting to get a chance to edit a LOT of footage from my last day at Infineon Raceway a few weeks back. AWESOME DAY. My CAR was putting up some serious lap time (IMO) all things considered. With lots of Blaine Fab love on the car, it was kicking ass and taking Porsches names. It seemed to understeer and its response to feedback was sort of inconsistent I felt.....but somehow I was ripping off 1:56s, in my FULL WEIGHT+ street driven car.....with a passenger, and a bit of traffic on most laps. I think the understeer might have been due to the fact that I was pushing the car a lot harder than I was on my previous outing here....and its a pig. The Ugly: Hurt the motor coming around the carousel near the end of the day. My best friend/mechanic was driving and the car lost oil pressure (25psi at idle) after coming around it. I noticed throughout the day that if I had the entry just right, and the car was biting real hard.....the pressure would dip for a split second at the end of the run-out.... and then shoot right back up. Guess the ol' LS1 got tired of that shit by the end of the day. It likely spun a/some rod bearings. It was knocking GOOD by the time we limped it back into the pits. Anywho, here is a couple of teaser clips before we compile the full days edit: Carousel-->double pass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bcqonLzyEg...;feature=relmfu Camaro > GTR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d5CZW2mjUs&feature=plcp |

Yes more aggressive for sure, a set of rotors per pads is about right, but the stock (no holes or slots) rotors for the Corvette C6 setup can be had at Rockauto for a whopping $20 a piece, good trade off for the decreased braking zone. I can make up a bunch of time on corner entry with these pads and it rattles the competition when you close in on them on the turns...
