Ever wonder if the reason he saw behavior you didn't was because he was driving at the cars limits and you were maybe at 7/10?

Simply put, the dynamics of a car change dramatically as you approach the limit of the car and the track. The dynamics of the z06 at the limits have been a complaint of many...


A lot of guys think they're going fast but if they timed it may be disappointed to find themselves at least 3-4 seconds slower per lap than what a professional driver can do. Being so much off the pace, most cars would be a walk in the park to drive. It's when you try to shave off those 3 or 4 seconds, that's when car handling rears its ugly head and you have to wrestle with the car to avoid crashing.
