Race Track Video..Z06 vs Porsche 996 turbo
Here is a link to some footage from Pueblo Motorsports Park. I was in my Z trying to keep up with a Porsche 996 turbo. The all wheel drive P car was on Hoosiers and I was on Bridgestone Pole Position run flat street tires. The turbo all wheel drive had the advantage hooking up the power and the traction, coming out of the corners, and had more power than my Z.
I knew the fastest line and the braking zones a little bit better than he did, since this is my home track. You will see me almost loose it on lap 2 in the hairpin ( I got a little high up into the marbles), but I gathered it up and ran him down.
At the end of the long straight we were doing between 138 and 142mph

Thanks for sharing, you mentioned that the 996 had a bit more power, was it tuned?

B&M on the left..OEM on the right.
You can see the B&M has just a slight bend in the shaft (right at the pivot point), position it forward and it moves the stick almost an inch forward as compaired to the back angle. You can see how radical of an angle the OEM shifter has. OEM throw is 4 1/2 inches and the B&M is only 3 inches.

Seems to me the price difference between the two cars, the Vette held its own. Had the Vette been on Hoosiers.....he may have done better. Was the Vette stock, engine and suspension. Hhat was the HP on the Porsche?

Great news on the B&M. I have one on order.
I will look at the fitting options and if suitable for me, will reverse the lever as you did
Thanks for that
What is the "heel-toe" gas pedal?

And that Porsche was certainly powerful.

Maxx,
What tire pressures are you running at the track?
I'm doing my first HPDE with the Bridgestones in 2 weeks.
I was running 28psi hot on the OEM Goodyears.
