[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16311634, member: 68944"] I think the c8 will shine at smooth naturally banked courses like leguna seca but be frustrating at flatter and bumpier tracks like grattan. When you dial under steer into a car, it doesn’t turn in, it doesn’t slip out, and it plows over bumps from my experience. Beats dying in a fiery tail spin though. I think a c8 z51 will struggle to keep up with a 202 gt350, and will be slower than a 2020 gt350r. The updates to the gt350/r are quite nice. I think the base gt500 will be faster in track than a gt350r but barely. Power and mainly braking being why, cornering speed being 5-10% lower. Maybe a 1:35.5 at Laguna vs 1:36’s for the gt350r. I hope to see cftp gt500’s sneak into the 1:32’s at Leguna but I’m confident the car has 1:34/ high33’s in it. Having done bullshit builds on forza, I hit mid 1:34’s with a nose heavy 4025lbs pig running full aero and sport tires. Factor the better brakes, almost slick tire, better than 55% balance, and hugely the weight not being on the nose but center on the floor, aft the front axle, and the wider front track, the dct shifts etc, I think the car will grip it’s way to very impressive times much like a Tesla p100d handles far better than the 5200lbs curb weight would have you believe. I just want the open air, and midship feel. I want to get a better custom speced alignment, lighter wheels/tires and bolt one on the eventual one I get if I go that route. Since I’m a caveman, I could honestly see myself being happier with a c7 grandsport convertible.. [/QUOTE]
