"Race took place. I am waiting for the video from Rick (TT owner).

From a dig, he got the jump on me and shutdown as I was getting ready to pass him at the top of third gear. I just can not get traction with the runflats on.

From a roll, the TT didn't stand a chance. Went from a 55-130 and he was about 2 cars behind EVERY time, and I was still pulling. We did this about 3x with the same results. I expected this from a roll.

In conclusion, the Z06 is just flat out the quicker car. Had the race went longer from a dig, I would have passed.

Video to be up soon.."

"From a roll, 0.16 Seconds quicker from 55-130? - not impressed at all, especially considering the lower (1200) miles on the TT, disappointing. A few hundred feet of altitude could push the TT ahead.

Here is the calc - 130 mph = 190.66 feet per second / 2 car lengths (30 feet) - 30/190.66 = 0.1573 seconds."


Might add that the 997TT had only 1200 miles on the clock and the Corvette already had around 2050 miles behind it.
So basically, the Corvette isn't the almighty slayer everybody takes it to be.
