VIDEO: Ben AMS prepared EVO at Road America
I wish we can say the same here.
"JUST guessing, but probably hit about 150-155 on the front straight. The straight you see in this video is between corners 4-5. Probably hitting 115-125 in this video."
The front straight is longer but uphill, going into turn 5 downhill would be about the same speed unless you're making like 500 HP at the wheels. I'd say about 145 in both places.

I know for a fact i was over 150mph on the front straight. I don't make a habit of looking at my speedometer when I'm racing, but i was curious and looked because it was by far the fastest i had gone on a race track. As for turns 4-5 it didnt seem close in speed, as i started to brake just as the decent into turn 5.
Have you ran a 2:32 or better at RA? And what makes you think you know what my car will do for speed?

I'm mostly talking about the differences in claimed speeds. If you can do 150 14-1 you're going to be pretty darn close to that in turn 4 speaking from experience. I found this to back it up.

I see what you're saying, but as per Ben's post, he was JUST guessing:

I'm out of this topic.

Your comparing my EVO X to an lotus 1.9L 190hp running 13 seconds slower per lap? I understand what you are saying about the section between 4-5 maybe i underestimated it but please don't compare my EVO to an EXIGE.
If you look hard enough you can see my dyno on here and its twice the Hp as an Exige. Granted weighs more but not even close.

Confirmed that..
I did about 50 laps Monday and Tuesday and yes 150 14-1 and 145 going into 5 didn't have time to look going into Canada but it's right there also. And hell yes 2:32 is a dam good time.
