Question 3 : What's your fastest MPH on that track if you have been? I hit 157mph, I was cautious as this was the first time taking it to the track.
Hmmmmmm.....157mph? What kind of straight does this track have? One that is a mile long, downhill all the way and with a tailwind? LOL. I've never seen speeds anywhere close to that and have done some high speed tracks...
Barcelona I've hit 150mph. Will do Hockenheim in December, sense I might hit 155mph, maybe just 150mph. Close to 160mph, that must be a monster of a track, or you are sitting in another car, like 488 or 675...
I was out there on Saturday but didn't opt to time my sessions. My GT4 was the only one out that day so I made a lot of new friends. The best compliment of the day from a GT3 RS owner was, "I'm glad your GT4 made it into the right hands." "You're super-fast in it!"
My fastest digital speedo read on the main straight was 143MPH.
Setup:
Full aero
2.4/2.0 degrees
0mm/4mm total toe
Corner balanced
I did an oil change and brake fluid flush prior to the event. I plan to change the oil again this weekend at 4200mi.

ACS = Autoclub Speedway = NASCAR track. You know. Left Turn Only american thing, 200mph 4 wide into a corner etc etc.
The track is in Fontana, CA. We lovingly call it "Fontucky"
These cars can get to about 150 or so, but doing so requires you to commit to turn 1-2 and 'trust' the banking and the car to stick.

150 is possibly doable but "on it" it seems in a stock GT4 . Never driven the track but looking at videos Z06s seem to be in the hi 150's w 600+ HP and higher g capability. Where is the max speed obtained ?
I have driven Daytona where u can get well into 150's because the exit speed from NASCAR turn 4 is 130 plus if you are committed.
Any video w telemetry out there of a GT 4 on that track?
Only time I ever did 150 MPH+ at ACS was on my old 19" BBS E88 wheels, and thats only because they threw off the speedo... and I run 1:52's there.
Not calling you a liar or anything, but 157 MPH at ACS is not doable at in our cars. I would have your speedo checked for improper calibration. Could be a ticket waiting to happen possibly.
Atlanta Motor Speedway is another NASCAR oval that is modified for HPDE groups to run part of the high banked oval, and part of it in the infield.
Want to cringe? Watch me almost put my Audi S4 into the wall when I was running all-season tires on a rainy morning. I came within inches of the wall. Zero damage...except to my brain, which was messed up for the rest of the day.
