wooops! sorry my bad, i typically read "road atlanta" as "road america" ha! i won't be there!

 

[Brent Dalton]

Lol! I was wondering why you were driving all that way! 1:29 at Road America would be quick! I don't even know if an F1 car could run that.

But I would sure like to see someone like Vettel, Alonso or Hamilton try!


I would like to participate since this track is not far and the only track event at RA I was aware wasn't until July.

Have you gone to AMP? I'm looking into an event there on 05/14.

 

[Brent Dalton]

That would be awesome to see an F1 car on Road America. Hope you can make Road Atlanta. Never spent any significant time at AMP. I know it's a fun, technical track... but also has stiff noise regulations.

 

[RoadrunnerGT]

Think a GT with only a Borla catback would pass their noise regulations? It sounds tame and pretty quiet to me.... but then again I'm used to much louder / free flowing exhausts.

 

[Brent Dalton]

Would depend on the catback, but is probably fine.

I signed up for the Jzilla track day the Friday before. Hopefully it'll be a fun 3 days at Road Atlanta.

Had a fun time at Road Atlanta this weekend. The car did fairly well with controlling temps. I was also surprised when I rolled across the scales at 3900 lbs this weekend with me in the car(I'm about 200lbs with gear on). I was expecting to be about 100lbs lighter. I managed several 1:39's. I'm happy with that for now for a non caged/no safety car.

Here are some videos:

Not bad for brakes and lateral G's:

A couple pictures of the car, trying to do my best [MENTION=19151]DoingOK[/MENTION] impression and hard parking



Glad to finally had the time to rebuild my transmission in my truck the weekend before! Glad to have that off my back. 2500 miles on it, 2000 with the car and trailer. Everything is working well! By far, the best vehicle I've ever owned. 245,000 miles on it now and still going strong. I hope this transmission last another 250k miles of abuse.

Hard Parking aint easy ;-)

 

[GT_Roadcourse_Newb]

Thanks! I'm happy with the time for what the car is. I've went low 30's in my RX7 before I had it really dialed in. I was driving the mustang almost as hard, just a smaller power to weight at 3900 lbs and 370rwhp. The driver was def. rusty as well.
