Tires (especially front) penalizes the 1/4 mile time a great deal. 458 italia are on tires that are so skinny for today's standards (235/295). Italia also has almost no downforce. Motortrend his 131.6 mph in 1/4 mile for Z06 on a convertible z07 car without Cup2R tires. So its the worst possible combination of added weight, still has z07 wing so drag is an issue, and comes with standard PS4S tires.

I think he said 3rd lap there wasn’t sure if he means ever or not. That would be fast if so. But otherwise nothing crazy fast for there. For example my f87m2 with re71r and Kw cs did a 1:49. Think I’ve seen some c7 z06 And 991gt3 do a 1:45 but not sure what tires. The roval takes getting used to and requires ***** if you’re not familiar at all it’s scary

I did a 1:46.2 first session that day in a C2S with new Cup2s. There’s more there but just as I’m getting more comfortable with the roval this track is going away. I know of a built 991 gt3 that did a 1:42.X not sure if tires were SuperCar 3Rs or slicks.

Doesn't look like he's at the limit.

Ah, good to know. That definitely matters

Of course, comparing times between different cars driven on different days by different drivers is far from perfect. I think maybe it was the same driver although I’m not sure and I believe it was part of the same set of tests from road and track. Agree it’s does not look like a pro driver setting an all time fastest lap, but if it’s the same person for all cars its useful. Kinda like what Randy Probst did for all those years at laguna Seca. God I wish they still did that …

Randy is pro and pushed those cars quite hard. I'm not sure that the driver in this video is even as fast as I am, his corner entries look pretty serene.

Right. Assuming at least a decent driver, if it’s the same driver, same track, and ideally same day, then comparing the times of different cars is interesting and useful. But never perfect. But yes, I would prefer to see Randy, or someone like him, drive the z06 and gt3 back to back at laguna Seca. because that’s been my “home” track for many years.

Relax.

Cars breaks.

A Z06 is a car.

Ergo, it can break.

There’s reports of this same problem on C8 stingrays.
