Yeah, and it seemed like he braked really early even though that thing FOR SURE has more stopping power than the Z06

Except when he overshot the braking zone. :icon17:

That might be an example of his unfamiliarity with the track. I imagine with a car that powerful, it can be a little intimidating if you aren't familiar.

The only time I've ever driven the Z on a track (was at COTA), I felt like no one was braking hard at all - like I should be able to get twice as close to turn-in before braking in almost every curve but especially Turns 1, 11 and 12. Of course, it was the Nismo Performance Academy. So lots of non-track drivers.

Oh no doubt.

I'd probably be a late-braker too. But you flirt with disaster when you do that, lol. If you nail it, you're golden though.

That Z06 driver is definitely better but that car isn't putting out full power. On the back straight he was only 147mph while my friend with a previous gen ZR-1 got 160mph. In my Z I get up to 135mph.
