FYI, cota track event with Edge Addicts March 17-18th, be there! I'd love to see some of you guys! I plan on having the GT back in action.

Cool, I might see you out there! What kind of lap times are you running in the GT at CoTA?

Billy is here at Daytona. He showed me a photo of him in a t shirt after he did this. He also said he took a photo of his gauge cluster showing him taking a turn at 158 MPH with one hand on the wheel and a phone on the other. Crazy dude.

Billy said he could go faster!!

I'm quite sure if the GT went there with the intent of beating that it would.

I have no doubt.

Shaping up for a good shootout with Pobst driving at Laguna. Anyone have connections at Motor Trend?

Have to have an independent crew there checking the lap times before I believe it ,government motor's isn't the most trustworthy

The speed these cars carry into and through the climbing S's is unreal.

For those looking for data points on the Full course (almost no one drives the Grand course), the Z06 (not ZR1 from the article above) allegedly did a 1:55 on the full course and 2:40 on the grand course. That would put the NFGT around a 1:54. Billy Johnson confirmed he only ran the Grand course.

Still need a same driver, same day, production car test.

That is definitely going to be the one to watch.
