Hey Johnny,
If you could pick any car/team, other than Corvette of course ;) , to race with, which would it be? Have you ever raced an LMP, IRL, or F1 car and how does it compare to other cars you've driven? -Johnny |
Who GM would everyone need to contact to get you back into the Corvette? Miss seeing you there buddy!

Johnny,
Have you tried the iRacing racing simulation for PC? It has been out for about 3 years and is very accurate with real cars and tracks, and they have the C6.R GT1! |

After you retire, will you keep your own dedicated track car just for fun? If you did tomorrow, what would that car be?

Hi Johnny,
I've got an '05 Vert that I've supercharged and headered and now I want to improve the suspension. I noticed in your Stage 1 package that you use shocks. Would coilovers be overkill or something I might want to go ahead and do now? It's a weekend use street car only, but I love to drive it "spiritedly". Cost is not much of a problem, just don't want to have to do it twice. What's your recommendation? Thanks for your time. |

Hey Johnny, congratuations on your success with Cadillac racing and am glad to see all those miles on your C5. I remember when you got that car. Hope you are having better luck keeping out those McDonald bags! (Charley)

What does GM think about the Corvette beating your Cadillac isn't that the old #28 Corvette?

Hey Johnny,
How did you come to be a factory driver? Most pro drivers bounce around from team to team with mediocre success, but most factory drivers seem to stay put and are racing on a very consistent basis. Another factory driver (of a different manufacturer) told me it's the best place to be. -Drew -Johnny |

I was very fortunate to catch the eye of Nissan in 1989 and then was employed with them through 1995. That's how I got to be a factory driver, and had enough success with Nissan to attract other factory positions.

I can describe what my C6 is doing on the track, but I'm never sure what to do to fix it (air pressure, shock stiffness, bar stiffness, raise / lower). Since I don't have a team of engineers making the decisions, could you point me to a good reference for Corvette suspension tuning?

In closing, thanks to everybody for sharing the in the love of Corvettes. They truly are the best sports car America has ever produced. That said, if you want to make the greatest car even better, I promise every owner that the JO/Pfadt Suspension package will make their car even a bigger super star. :cheers:
I look forward to seeing everyone at the race track soon. -Johnny |
Hey Johnny, thanks for your time! Hope to see you racing, and in a Corvette, for a long time.

Feel free to use us a resource to lean on for Corvette suspension!:yesnod: |
Ahh i wanted to ask a question! Too bad i missed this!

After an extremely careful review of the questions posed to Johnny, it was a close call.
The winner of the 50 bucks Pfadt Cash is Daytona Bob! Great question about the transition to NASCAR road course specialist and this years successes compared to the Italians. Thank everyone so much for their questions, and to CorvetteForum for giving us an avenue to host this! Stay in touch with Pfadt Race Engineering on CorvetteForum and Facebook for fun events like this in the future! :thumbs: |
Aaron, do this again as JO is a great resource of knowledge.:thumbs:
|
Big thanks to Pfadt and Johnny O' Connell!
