Under 2 min at Thunderhill East is fast. That's sort of the reference point. I think the Z06 should be capable of 1:50 on east bypass stock with good conditions. Fastest clean laps I've gotten in my...

I don't doubt that it's the case where you live. Most places in the country that I visit I don't see many Teslas either. Come to the SF Bay Area and every other car is a white Model 3 or Y. I...

I agree. They are insanely ubiquitous among the tech loving NPC’s in the SF Bay Area. It’s common for me to see groups of 3-5 of them at a stoplight. No thanks.

Thanks for the response. While I know z07 requires aero, I didn’t realize the aero was the main/only constraining variable. Thought perhaps there were other issues with Z07 availability. Makes it a...

Lots of talk about the total dearth of Z07 allocations here. Anyone have an idea what the deal is with MM’s aero allocations for those of us who want aero but not Z07? I am in the 500’s. Just curious...
