Buttonwillow, WSIR and AutoClub Lap Times?
Just picked up a ZR1 and trying to get an idea of lap times on these tracks.
The best times and what others are running (what mods etc)...is there a lap time thread?
Just got rid of an e92 m3 and I ran
1:57:7 at Buttonwillow C13 and 1:30:9 at WSIR (KW CS, stoptech, apr aero, hankook rs3 tires) and 1:59:2 and 1:32:8 without the aero. Curious to how I do in the vette once I get used to the power!!!

I haven't done Button Willow yet but if you can do a 1:30 on big willow in a very modded M car you should be right around 1:28 - 1:30 in stock zr. I'm not that fast yet but im just too cautious. On ACS the car in stock form is quite capable of very low 1:50's and mid 1:40's with slicks.

Speed Ventures has the Corvette Challenge so look at the results on their website for various times. There a number of different levels of stock, modified, super modified and Unlimited so the times will vary greatly.
I am sure you will be at or below your M3 times fairly quickly once you get used to the ZR1. It will seem like a handful at first but you get used to the handling and power after just a couple of days. I came from a GT3 before my Z06, and now I am quite a bit faster in the Z06. Your car will be an absolute beast out at WSIR and ACS, and quite often at a Speed Ventures event, Vettes occupy many of the fastest times of the day.
Check out times posted by Oli, Stephanie Cemo, Jim Tway, and you can see why the Vette times are so fast.
Have fun with the new car and nice choice of color.

Kosherstogie,
When is your next track day?
You will want to put on a camber kit on your car as soon as possible. The Z's don't hold an alignment very long with the concentric bolts. Also, you will want more camber out of your alignment and stock has its limitations.
In stock form, my car's alignment barely lasted 2 days and now it holds the alignment for a very long time. Darin at West End did an excellent job, and my tire wear is very even now and he was able to get rid of most of the understeer on my car.

What did Darin do? He did my last two cars...what would I need for alignment

My best times at some of these tracks;
ACS: 1:44
Buttonwillow (13cw): 1:51
WSIR: 1:27
WSIR is my worst time of the three, mostly because putting down a good time at that track requires more risk than anywhere else (and my car wasn't caged until recently). This is a C6 Z06 with ~570 RWHP, coilovers, heavy sway bars and DOT slicks. A better driver could probably saw a few seconds off of each of these.
ACS: 1:44

Oh they make a difference. First day with aero on my e92 m3 I ran 2 seconds faster at WSIR and 1.5 at buttonwillow

Could be, hard to tell as I haven't really done a back to back comparison, so you might be right. I think it does make a difference at WSIR, more there than anywhere else. It all depends on how crazy of an aero setup you go with, what did you put on your e92 exactly?

Yeah right now I am. I'm sure I'll be all over the damn place. My buddy has a recaro pole position but I need to see how they are. It's my daily driver so need to find middle ground
