Pfadt poly bushings(modified)

Front splitter with undertray
used slicks (grip was very close to MPSC)

Endless brake pads (watercutted from Porsche GT3 pads)
All other components are stock

question about technique:

are you doing much left foot braking? I don't have to as much, now that I got my alignment touched up, but I do still find myself lightly braking through high speed bends so that I can use a little more maintenance throttle to keep the weight to the rear.

No, only right foot braking

Nice driving indeed! I hope I'll be able to go to the Nurburgring myself one day, preferably in a Corvette.

Do you have any pictures of the car?

Really impressed with your smooth entry and exit of the corners. Hard to see for sure, but it looked like you hit corner apex's consistently (maybe a little wide passing one of the cars). This looks like real fun. I have just purchased a new 2013 Z06 with the ultimate performance suspension option. I am having some problem with toe/healing the car. I have changed the gas pedal with a pedal form Elite Engineering. Seems to help...................... Again, great job on the track !!! Mark.
