Did you guys read the article? He doesn’t work directly for Amazon. He works for a logistic company who happens to deliver a lot of Amazon packages. His company should be doing more for him in the health and cleanliness department. Could amazon help the delivery services more, I’m sure they can...

depends on the car. Winter conditions and no adjustments (like this video) most of the time human can beat Lc. But warm sticky tires and a good LC is harder to beat then you might think. Model and variables can matter a lot. For instance on turbo cars, LC typically allows you to build boost...

You can use Launch control on the streets but you need to dial it in right. On the street you really need to lower tire pressure and get a good amount of heat in the tires for good results. When I had my Z06 with launch control I was constantly able to get 0-60 of 3.2-3.4 not including rollout...

First I’ll say wow, bass GT500 is impressive. But that’s what a 260hp advantage does at a track like VIR! I would doubt there’s a faster sub 550 hp car may not even be one at 600. I wish they would’ve done it at Laguna where we have a very complete list of cars/times Randy has driven. I’m sure...

So true, had one on my Z06 and loved it. It’s the one thing I miss on my Porsche 911.

i was going to say they had no problem figuring out how to dial in the PDK (even more so) for Porsche. It’ll probably take sometime and learning curve as it’s the first major DCT for an American manufacturer but they’ll get it figured out.

so true. They’ve had the chance also with ZL1’s and Z06. My guess is the manufactures don’t want them to.

another Good example ‘16 350R ran a 1:36.11 at Laguna Seca, now I couldn’t find a ‘16 350 but Maybe someone else has it or knows? They made some tweaks to areo and suspension and added SC2 tires and the ‘19 350 ran a 1:36.83!! Now obviously there complete tuning for the added grip helped but...

You’re right, they are not totally linear nor did I ever say that. However we aren’t comparing different vehicles here with different characteristics, we are simply comparing tires. And there’s a much closer relationship there. For example the 1LE at the ring is 13.6 seconds faster on the 12.9...

I honestly don’t think people here understand that when you get to these crazy amounts of power how the increase grip from one tire such as the 4S makes so much of a difference when you go to an R compound. That R compound Allows for much later breaking, more lateral G and speed through corners...

less actually. A gallons of gas is around 6 lbs. so roughly 95-100 lbs.

Totally agree with you. On this track the wing and areo definitely have an impact, but I think the tires could have shaved 3-4 seconds off the base car lap.

good question, I was wondering the same thing. I’d love to see him have the SC2 tires on the base. I bet that’d cut the difference to like 1.5-2 sec I am hoping they did multiple car testing at VIR and we’ll get the results. They just tested the C8 there as well.

Congrats. Love the color combo, that’s exactly what my Z06 was. If I order a 500 I’ll be going with the combo and black roof. Can’t wait for your first drive review!

Oh just wait. You may see it as no fluids, but it’s basically a big appliance. Wait tell electronic/electrical repairs are necessary. Not to mention updates. Tesla’s are not error free.
