Did you suprise anyone? | Actually, it was one of the slowest cars in my run group. It was the advanced run group with a turbo NSX, GT3 RS, Panoz, gutted SUPER HIGH roll cage M roadster, and R1 compund sec miatas (super fast in the turns). They M Roadster guy had the bar made extra high because he fliped the car once before getting the bar a had a near death experience. He wanted to be extra safe. What was revealed was that the balance of the car is not ideal with 56/44 % F/R weight distibution and narrower front tires ( 245 R vs 225 F). It's fine for the street, but the track needs 245's all around, even 235's would be better. There was a decent amount of push which limited my turn exit speed. Motor ran flawlessly and the Brembos never faded. Also, I had recently put on a set of the new Bridgestone R-11's. They held up well and had amazing grip, but they really showed how poorly a firm and sporty street suspension set up sucks on the track. Since this is primarily a street toy, it's fine for what I usually do with the car, but for any serious track work, the suspension would need to be redone. I rode with a guy with a track setup S2000 and that thing was literally a full sized go kart. Anyway, I'm trying to get some of the in car video up. As soon as I do, I'll let you guys know. __________________
