Do you track your genV

[RedTanRT/10]

Woah really? I didn't think the 315 Hoosier would fit! Hmm... Might have to get those instead. I ordered a set f14s in 18"x11" front and 18"x13" rears.

I'm going to add the Michelins to my list.

Yeah most folks run 315's up front. They'll fit fine on your 11" wheels. To go with 335's like Pappy you'd need 12" fronts.

Running with the 315-345 F-R 18" combo, the tire height is the same as your stock 18/19 wheel-tire configuration so if you have corner weighted your Viper you can swap back and forth and not have to mess with corner weighting or adjusting the front to back rake.

Is the VCC guy that converted his to a gen V body, out by you?

[RedTanRT/10]

Nick, if he’s here I don’t know. In Phoenix is Rich Marizale who has a G5 GTSR body that might be on a CC chassis? Not sure. I think Cable knows whoever did the set up your asking about

According to the registry, it's owned by Ritch Marziale in Arizona.

Very sweet looking car.

Sweet photo at Willow! Yeah, that is the only really good photo I have right now from a professional photographer and worth posting. Maybe some more this year.

Are you running 1 Lap this year?

[ViperGeorge]

Are you running 1 Lap this year?

Yes, my final year I think. This will be 23 consecutive One Laps. Last year we took an Audi S5. Nice over the road but terrible on track. This year it is back to the Viper.

Excellent. It's always enjoyable to watch you guys.

[Racingswh]

Such beautiful cars!! Glad to see everyone having fun with theirs!!

[Arizona Vipers]

I run 33/65 and 31/71 Michelins. My next set I'm going to run 33/71s in the rear.

Do you think they will fit????? Man I'd love to run the 33's, they should be well over 370mm on a 13" wheel lol. The 310 is 353mm.

335's will work on the 11" wheel too, I ran them for years. If you are really fast and your car is low you will burn holes through the fender liners, no big deal.
I run a Yoko 320 up front now which is really a 343mm.

Yes they'll fit. I measured 4 times to make sure

[PkB2014]

IDK how you guys running 335s up front. They may fit, but my ABS freaked out with 315 A7s in my first event. Went back to 295s and been fine since.

I've done it once, for about 7 laps.
I'm well aware I'm not a 700hp driver (let alone 700hp + big aero for grip), so I didn't push it. Also, I can afford to wreck the BRZ. It would be a very bad day, but I'd buy another race car of similar cost within a few months. Plus, if the BRZ gets dings or scratches from going off, I doubt I'd notice, let alone care. I can't say the same about the Viper.


I will drive the BRZ on edge, lap after lap, and flog it mercilessly like it's a rented mule. I develop skill much faster and have more fun. I dont enjoy the Viper as much because I can't drive it to my 100%.

Plus I bet the Viper is around $1000/hr to run between powertrain wear and tear, fluids, fuel, brakes and tires. BRZ is like $125. Maybe.

With that said, the power and endless grip on the Viper was intoxicating.

Don't tell my wife that...


In reality, it's not that bad. I've never actually tracked it, but I don't think it's near $1,000/hr.

Doh! $1000/hr! maybe so, especially adding in track day insurance. I tell myself it's only $100 per event when I'm auto-crossing. I try not to count tires, alignments, fuel, towing costs, etc. brakes are still original and seem ok, but i think this is the last year. Any HPDE or full track stuff i can run my Focus RS or a new Miata or the BRZ sound like good options as well. Trying to get the wife out in the Tesla could cut some costs, too.

My C7 Grand Sport (not even a Z06) was over $500/hr.
Tires alone were close to that. The $2000 tires lasted about 5 hours (15 x 20 min sessions). That includes shipping, tax, mount, disposal, etc. - $400/hr. Maybe they were a little less than $2k, but even still, that alone is $375/hr. I ran NT01. Slicks are even worse. They won't come close to lasting 15 sessions.

The $500 front brake pads lasted about as long. ($100/hr)
$300 rear pads lasted twice as long ($30/hr)
Front rotors ($1000) lasted about 10 hours ($100/hr)

That's $600/hr. right there.

That doesn't even get into (hopefully) long term stuff like shocks, engine, trans, clutch, diff, wheel bearings, bushings, etc. since I was under warranty. It doesn't include oil changes, brake fluid, trans fluid, diff fluid, or even fuel. It definitely doesn't include insurance and track fees (I didn't get insurance and have a membership).

I'm certain the Viper will cost more because it a) has bigger/more expensive tires, b)will go through brakes much faster from power, downforce, grip and just being much smaller pads c) parts are much more expensive and d) faster cars cost more to run.



I'm not sure your experience/skill level, but it gets higher as you get faster.

I bought it to track it

That's a dangerous game you are playing lol

I never actually add up all the costs from track time. Cost for items to make the car perform, yes. I have full spreadsheets. But I try not to actually add up what I've spent on consumables. I'm not wealthy enough to not care about those costs, but if I can leave myself blind to the amount of years earlier I could retire from NOT spending that moneys I'd not feel great. Ignorance is bliss!
