Here’s my lap in my 2006 Mazda MX5. 1:31.08

I have been analyzing Kevin Vogel's track day video. My slightly modified Corvette should easily beat his lap time with modern tires. Now I just need to pay off the Corvette and get some proper tires and brake pads. Only twelve more payments, then I will have money for track days. I am really looking forward to it, it will be groovy.

• 2009 Corvette Z06
• LS7 7.0 pushrod V8
• Tremec TR6060 6spd transmission

Modifications:
- Hawk DTC60 track pads on stock calipers/rotors
- StopTech SS brake lines
- AMT Motorsports solid aluminum motor mounts
- Continental ExtremeContact Force 200tw in factory 275/35/18 and 325/30/19
- Factory stock motor and drivetrain, stock body, no aero etc.

Why is the Unplugged Performance Model S Plaid Dark Helmet included in this? It had slick tires.

I did a 1:18.742 in my Subaru

So tesla needed a modded non street legal plaid with more downforce than a gt race car, non street legal slicks, 500 more hp with a better power to weight, and Tesla’s professional driver to beat a stock gt2 rs on road legal tires, has no mods, and wasn’t even driven by a professional Porsche driver lmao this is sad that Tesla needs a non production non street legal race car to beat Porsches bone stock car you can take out to dinner comfortably

Absolutely insane lap Craig!🙂

we all know 1:20 is not the track record.. why so biased?

Here is driver Steven Kronemberger with his 2010 Corvette GS.
Car is mostly stock with LG Motorsports Coilovers, NT01 tires and Hawk HP+ pads. Lap time was 1:29.9.

Here is driver Kevin Vogel on a track day at Willow Springs in his apparently unmodified C6 Corvette. Somewhat leisurely pace, but he still did a 1:38.52 at Big Willow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdLlGaLKq0s&t=1116s

Based on the 3.9 kilometer length of Willow Springs, I was able to calculate five lap times from the Car and Driver best handling American car test of 1984. Pontiac Fiero 2M4 1:53.0, Dodge Daytona Turbo Z 1:48.0, Chevrolet Camaro Z28 1:46.0, Ford Mustang SVO 1:44.0, and the Chevrolet Corvette 1:42.0. Here is a link to the article: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison-test/a15141768/the-best-handling-american-car-is-archived-comparison-test/

I found average speeds for Willow Springs from which you can calculate the lap times for five cars of 1984: Chevrolet Camaro Z28; Corvette; Dodge Daytona Turbo Z; Ford Mustang SVO; and the Pontiac Fiero 2M4.

I just watched that exact video of the Mines GTR and Tsuchiya destroying this track and had to look up the fastest laps recorded. That 1:21:22 would give it the #4 spot.

The C8 Zo6, ZR1 and the Zonda is going to be EPIC!
