'15 Z06 chasing P1 at COTA
 

Thought y'all might enjoy this.

Guy in our cars and coffee just bought a mclaren 650s last year. I guess he liked it because he went out and bought a P1 too lol

they look absolutely amazing in person. this was the first i got to see so far.

That car is just nutz :driving:

Makes the Z06 look and sound so slow out of the corners, doesn't it? :icon17:


Got to see one back when the Gold Rush Rally was over. He drove it straight from Chicago to Scottsdale, was pretty sweet. Though, it was that ugly burnt orange colour.

the P1 is just sick in every aspect. I love it

Every time they come into a straight, the P1 just runs off like the Z06 is on cruise control lol

And that's the slower P1...

Did anyone feel the Z06 driver was a better driver?

Yes. Sometimes it was just traffic, but I felt like the P1 lines were pretty far from ideal on a lot of those curves.

might have had better knowledge of the track?

then again money doesn't mean you're a better driver lol just because he can afford 1.2 mil doesn't mean he knows how to handle it :bowrofl:

The P1 is the standard of which every car should be judged:yum::leghump:

I would expect a GM guy that buys a Z06 to be more competent over the common dude who can afford a P1

I agree.

is that video from the Z06's on board recording software or is that third party set up added to a video?

can't remember what the standard Z06 data recording stuff looked like.

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

Pretty sure that's the onboard/GM data recording.

Except when he overshot the braking zone. :icon17:

if it is that's a pretty good system for being factory......and from GM lol

:tup: :tup:

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.

Yea, its standard, saw it on my doctors friend '15 z06.
