You guys were friggin' sandbaggin! I thought I had a chance for FTD (for the first time evar!!!111!ones) based on following you in the practice sessions, but then you found another couple seconds in the TT and it was sayonara! Look forward to trying again at Lime Rock...L98Terror wrote:Actually I was in the Blue Z06 (you know FTD), my friend Jon was in the Black C4Grippy wrote:Well L98, if you were the guy I rode with at Mosport in the black C4, I must commend you! You were the first HP car that I have seen that was driven like a Miata, smooth and flowing, fast in the corners and faster on the straights.
I had great fun chasing you down! At least until you hit the warp button on the back straight.
Video from Mosport, Including a miata spin that almost ....

Well there were two things going on the first day, one I was following Jon (Black C4) to learn the line because I never had been to the track before. (he still claims he's faster than me) and I was running my old Nitto 555RII (over 2 years old & tons of track time)
For the second day I ran my Nitto NT-01s 315/18 in rear vs 275/17 at least 2 seconds faster.
Is he cute and available?WillM wrote:Perspective? A local guy (Andy B) recently set a class record @ LRP in his 1.8 ITA Miata... 1:01.4 !
Wow!
Srsly, I've never run LRP in anything other than November. Any idea how much quicker the track is when it's not frozen?

Captin, I can't change the laws of physics.
A 2400# car is gonna corner harder than a 3200# car.
All the difference is being made up on the straights. I can really see it. I lose much more ground to HP cars on the straight than in corners.
The stangs and new vettes walk me on Mario straight like i'm standing still with foot putting 200# pressure on go pedal.
Lets settle the argument and put a g meter in a Z-06 and same meter in a Miata.
Nate gave me a ride in his Miata a few years ago. I was begging him to let me out after 1 lap. He didn't want puke all over his dash.
