The competition adjustments that Corvette got really hurt them at track like Road America. Corvette and SRT will battle it out for the championship. SRT Vipers are very strong right now.

If the SRT Vipers are in the thick of the lead then so are the Z4's. When they are coming right at you it is hard to tell the difference between the two. The commentary at the track was that the Z4's have an advantage on the field of dialing in more downforce on high speed corners; I would bet the Vipers can do the same.

That is the feeling I got watching the race. They easily had top end strength on the long straights.

My guess is that if they perform so well again in VA Int'l on the 24th then they'll get hit with BoP for the COTA race on 09/19...

They would be smart to sandbag a little. COTA is a hp track, last thing you want is restrictions going into that race.

True although it may be risky. We're well in to the season and its not a time to leave points on the table
