Hi Doug! Car did AMAZING! Weekend was great! Here is a snapshot of the car on track... I posted more on the 'CL' forum.

Thanks,

Thanks for posting... and I know Brian VERY WELL!!! We were good buddies back in the late 90's... early 2000's... auto-xing... mention my name to him... Dave Schotz... he'll laugh... we were young back then... and drove the wheels off everything! Great guy!

I really loved how the car looked on the track! Pics did come out awesome.

The only thing this car lacked in 'feel' over the camaro was transmission 'feel' & exhaust 'growl'. As it's my street car... that's to be expected. The transmission shifts so smoothly, and the 'paddles' don't give you a very strong 'indication' that a downshift has happened... I'd have to 'look' at the shift indicator in a few places... to make sure it dropped 2 gears etc... And the exhaust again... I drive the car every day... I don't want all the 'noise'... but out there with 'real' race cars... I couldn't hear much, even with the Borla True Dual Competition system!

Thanks,

Dave

I am running 285/30/18 Hoosier Race Tires... as well as 285/30/18 Kumho V710's... Both D.O.T. legal, but primarily a 'track only' tire.

Thanks Guys! Car was great, and it was fun to see the look on many of their faces! If I was any good at converting Mini DV video into some web uploads... we could have some great vids to watch... but I never can find good editing material that is 'free' (Since I don't do it often enough to want to pay for it).

I think an LSD would be a VERY NICE upgrade... and probably would have been worth at least a full second... but it also really made me just concentrate on being smooth, so that the electronic braking LSD wouldn't be so intruisive.

Was a blast... and these cars REALLY ARE meant for the Track! Brakes are LIKE NO OTHER!

Thanks again!
Dave

Thanks Infinus... I'll have to try just playing right into YouTube... for whatever the reason, when I was hooking up the firewire... it's making the file WAY to big. And I've got a lot of video, that I'd like to 'clean up'... to just the hot laps etc...

Thanks,
Dave
