[VIDEO] Corvette E-Ray Hits MSR Houston Road Course for Baseline Data Gathering

Performance tuner Alex Peitz got his hands on a stock 2024 Corvette E-Ray and in this video, he takes it out for laps at MSR Houston for baseline data gathering before the car undergoes any performance modifications.

Alex tells us that before the car went out on the track, they did make adjustments to the track alignment while also replacing the stock brake fluid with Motul 660. He also says they are doing these baseline tests utilizing the stock Michelin all-season tires instead of the track-ready Pilot Sport 4S tires that come with the ZER performance package.

Once off the track, Alex calls the E-Ray “an absolute monster even on the all-seasons,” and “an absolute rocket ship out of the corners.” The performance hybrid Corvette achieved a best lap time of 1:47.7 and he is able to compare that to the 2020 Stingray which was lapped at 1:50 seconds while the C7 Corvette Z06 recorded a baseline lap at 1:42.

Alex plans to look for a set of specific tires for the track, performance tuning via HP Tuners to optimize engine performance, and possible suspension upgrades featuring coilovers, however, that will require custom shock mounts due to the E-Ray having its unique front shock tower design.

Join us as we test out our shop’s new Corvette ERay at the track and hear our thoughts and plans for the future with this car. Some of these plans include a turbo kit, which can be found on our website, and a tune, all done in-house.

His C7 Z06 with the mods he did to it had a nice baseline lap time. It will be interesting to see how the E-Ray compares to that after he upgrades it too.
