QUOTE- Random thought: Z06's do well at the track. Good brakes, good handling, great acceleration. No handling quirks of some rear engine cars. Make no mistake though, they will spin, as I saw. Some minor complaints from owners on an overly active stability management system?"
Hi folks, I take my Z06 to the track with DE's as well. man are they a blast! i also have the Brey-krause harness, with Sabelt 6 point belts.
You are very correct regarding Z06's not having some of the odd handling issues. The only place you can get into trouble is off-camber turns, especially going over a rise. You have to get your speed correct going in, and maintenance throttle through it. whatever do you you can't lift or yes, the rear end will get happy. This is true with the 911 as well.
i have done about 15 DE's and find that the rear end movement is very controlled, and it tells you what it's doing and there is plenty of time to recover.
Your comment about over active stability management. Some folks leave both traction control and active handling on while at the track-not a good idea. the Vette gives you several different options for stability mgt. including the aptly named "COMPETITION MODE"
Sadly, track days in this part of the country have come to an end for the year...
