:gjob: Troy!
RA is such an awesome track - it seems bigger than it is due to the elevation changes and trees. We love going to the Petit LeMans there

Nice job, Troy! I really like the Chasecam setup. It's funny reading the comments. Lots of experts out there that have never been on a track.

I know it always amazes me to see so many Pros on YouTude that know way more than we do. They say the most lovely things.....NOT! They are all haters.

Further, I really was not pushing it to the max because it's a VERY VERY VERY nice C6 Z06 that I was driving.....I did not feel like putting it the wall. This is the biggest reason I'm looking for another C6 Z06. One I can take to the next track level.

Thanks good buddies!

Re: C6 Z06 @ Road Atlanta for NARRA Time Trails. 3rd Place Finish in Class TT-1!

Cool video. I like the overlays.

I like Road Atlanta, but it still makes me a bit uncomfortable. I have nightmares of hitting the 10A gravel at 160 or pin balling down the front stretch after bouncing through 12. I've never been anywhere else that makes me uncomfortable.

It doesn't prevent me from going though

Thanks for responding. How much HP do you believe that 09 Z has? Again I was impressed so much so that I think I am going to take a ride to Sebring "2 hours from where I live" and give it a shot. One more question please as I am technically challenged, how did you get all the dash and gauge readings. What type of gadget can I buy to do the same. I already have a Go Pro HD cam.

- The Black C6 puts down 605 RWHP on 93* oct. 625 RWHP on 109* oct.

- I use the ChaseCam system. It plugs in to the PCM and records all engine data. It also includes GPS, G-Force meter, HD recording, and more. Check out their website for further info.
