What happens after the shift at 150? C7Z falls flat before 160 with stage 3 aero. My C6Z "felt" a lot more powerful in the high triple digits, but had no aero parts. The Z51 has 400 lbs additional downforce over the base model per GM for the C8 as I recall. Since you also have a C6 ZR1, that is still winding up at 150, is the new car a dog beyond 150?

i haven’t run it past that video so not sure yet. I’d imagine the accel drops off a fair bit. Supposed to top out at 185-190 IIRC and it likely takes a bit to get there.

I may have a chance to find out given an appropriate opportunity so I’ll relay anything I learn.
