Default Running Sebring in a Stock C5 Z06

What is the best time one can expect on wide ovals? I'm trying to get to a point where I reach the stock limits of the Z06 so I can begin making adjustments to see how it performs.

This is my current fastest lap:



Constructive criticism is appreciated!

Having raced at Sebring for over 20 years and In a variety of cars,
SSC to GT-1, but not a tub corvette, I'll take a stab at a guesstimate.

Bone stock, strong running C5 Z06 on quality performance street tires (not hoosier dot race), with a very good racer driving:

about 2:26

No info for you, don't know the track. A question though: what are you using to get data overlay on your video? Looks nice, although brake pressure doesn't work.

Best time I ever ran at Sebring in a stock C5 Z06 with the OEM Goodyear F1 tires was a 2:29.03. I'm sure a pro could go faster.

Great info thanks guys! Guess I have a long way to go to max it out which means more time before I have to spend money ;-)

I am running Wide Ovals right now. I wonder how bog of a difference they would make over the F1s.

The data is from Harry's Laptimer and the overlay is done in dashware. I don't think our OBDII computer shares brake pressure so it's not capturing it.

Dang you ran a 2:29 on the stock tires? Impressive! Hopefully I can best that on 555R II's once I get used to the setup. We'll find out next month I guess.

If you haven't run on the stock tires don't underestimate them. They were pretty damn good.
