Seconds slower in my R8 lol. A new ACR should do high teens or low 20.

A C6 with aero did a 2:15 in front of my eyes ha
It was a 2015 viper not the new ACR, but regardless. I know the c6 you're talking about. Lord knows how much HP that thing was making, but it was definitely not even close to stock. Sounded like a freaking stock car in the paddock.

Good info on your pressures Operations. My hot pressures were way too high.

Not sure about our mag ride but my R8's mag ride is temp sensitive. Since I have race pads/rotors on it, it produces some serious heat AND either way, the shocks sit next to the brakes.

The shocks go into default mode, which is the soft setting. I was complaining about it to my R8 tech as I noticed how soft it was during my last sessions. He explained about the temps effecting the MAG ride shock.

That's an older generation MSRC issue. The first gen on the Corvettes had the same problem. Updated to Gen 2 for the CTS-V and ZR1, that problem went away. Gen 3's temp resistance is much higher still.

I think most European manufacturers using GM's MSRC are still using Gen 1.

My R8 shocks for sure do it.

That makes me feel good about running a string of 2:36 flat laps in my Z51 at the same event. I could hit 150 MPH before Turn 12, but have to go to 200M. I sold that car, and I am watching GS Z07 and Z06 Z07 prices before I decide what I am going to do.
