Incredible car, I especially love the deep into the corner late braking that allowed you to stick it to the 911 both into and out of the corner. Fun to watch a 69 Camaro put the screws to the "benchmark of handling" lol. Absolutely amazing!
We had a great day at Gingerman. We ran five 15 minute session with no issues. My last session it was 68 degrees and the engine ran 191 degree water and 241 degree oil temp. No power drop off due hot engine.
We were hitting 150 mph down the long straight. The car is a bit tricky to drive because it will blow the tires off at 100 mph. The shift light comes on over the raise on the long straight. I knew I was lighting the rear tire then I could see the rubber marks on the track. It will also get into a high speed tire shake if you at too greedy on the throttle.
This car is 1.5 seconds faster at Gingerman than a 2014 Z/28 that I ran there earlier this year. So on the question is Hellfire faster than a Z/28 the answer is yes.
Overlaying the speed traces from Red Devil and Mayhem you can see the delta acceleration and deceleration. It is shockingly fast in a straight line.
Some idiot on a new GT3 would not give me a point by. I'm was all over him in the sweepers and he still would not give a point by. I finally just blew by him on the straight then slammed the door in the braking zone.
All in all a great day. I have never had a first outing as good as this one. We just beat on the car all day.
