Tracked my CS yesterday!

And it was unbelievable!

I was all over turbocharged S2000's, modded WRX's, an Audi S4, BMW M3's and even a 997s.

The track was wet and there was eff all grip. An Elise hit a puddle, hydroplaned and came out the other side at a different direction than he went in and slammed into a wall. He was totalled.

My Cs was the most fun I have ever had at the track. I went sideways round so many corners! I spent this morning gently trying to get the rubber off my car that was raining at me cos I was mere feet away from cars in front and pushing hard. You all have to try this, the car comes alive when it hits the track.

you were driving in the wet? Great to hear that those tires work well. Poor Elise, and driver. The Elise got a terrible death, hope the driver is ok. Maybe it was symbolism to show that your CS was superior (ok, now I kno I'm gettin' 2 much English work if I'm writin' about symbolism here, lol)



Maybe next time you bring a camera and mount it to the dash?...

It was California Speedway's inside track(the track is inside the oval) and it was with SpeedVentures.
I ran a 1:21 which was good but this was my first time in this car at a track so I can only get more comfortable with the car(I started the day with a best lap of 1:31). I opted out of driving in the pouring rain but the track had huge puddles all day long and it was a blast. Rooster Tails from everybody. You couldn't get TOO close cos you'd get blinded till later in the day when the water was run off the track.

LOL's

Ran Mine yesterday as well. All I have to say is 'WOW & YAHOO' This car makes even an average driver look good. The car never felt unsettled even with a bad line. Acceleration was great even with Tip, carrying a passenger and taking it easy (only 1400 miles on the car so I used a 6000 rpm redline). Top speed at end of straight was 119 with passenger.


Here are a couple of pics. The 05 GTO & M3 fell well behind on the twisty parts.

I hit the rev limiter a few times, nothing exciting to report, exactly what you expect to happen in that situation happens and you shuffle up a gear. At least you know your pushing it. Sport Chrono rocks!

What does Sport Chrono do that makes it "rock"?

Sport chrono rocks because it sharpens the throttle response by about 10-15% and makes the car feel much more immeadiate and aggressive. I have used it on the street and its hard to really feel the difference but on a track its absolutely invaluable. I didn't use the stopwatch aspect of the Sport Chrono just the sport button and it was worth every penny.
