This thing is a beast. Completely bone stock (suspension settings, even) it's running 1:40s pace on my second session. Brakes were unflappable, chassis was willing to rotate... beautiful, beautiful track car.

I doesn't sound like you were downshifting early in the corners to keep revs up. Her automatic, of course, is a no-brainer. (The car, not the wife). I'm no pro, so don't think I'm railing on you! Great video, though. Did you use a Go-Pro? Dash cam?

surprised (and delighted) that you got past sound with just a lift.
encouraging report on the car, Ben...thanks.

What an interesting array of cars on track with you.

WRT the driving - I drove with Ben for a couple days at the Track Attack and can attest that he's properly quick.

Awesome video. I definitely envy you. How does one go about getting a track day at Laguna Seca? Laguna Seca and COTA are definitely on my bucket list!

So, legitimate question here... If Ben is able to run a 1:40 lap while lifting and barely sweating at working the wheel, is it safe to say the R is a sub-1:35 car?
