hey nils,

great driving out there! i love the video it looked like a lot of fun
yeah damn too bad i couldn't get a ride but watching the video, i got a good idea how it would have been like.

yeah guys nils' evo performed really well in a group of vipers! they were pretty much nothing but vipers everywhere with two SRT-4 neons.
one of the guy who built the winning race viper (white gts) 24 hour Lemans was really cool and he was cool enough to show and talk to me and a buddy about the car and racing etc. big thanks to tom for his time.

if you guys notice in the video that White and black (mopar) viper? i believe it either won or was entered in the D1 competition?

tyler, robi was a really cool guy and he definetly sounds like he knows what he's talking about. hopefully i can get him to help me with my suspension set up on my supra as well! although i didn't get to drive or ride, it was really a cool experience being around a bunch of legends and a good race atmoshphere filled with vipers. see what you're missing out? i'm definetly going to try to come back with the car for the porsche club event in mid oct.

That was funny how on your first look at passing the race Viper he hit the throttle and took off in the straight. But he wasn't fast in the corners, and you came up on him and ***** slapped him Evo style.

Seriously that is some good stuff. You are running Buschur Stage 4 power on the stock turbo, correct?

Thats me

Supra and Evo are very different cars, Evo is more of a drivers car IMO.

DMS 50's with 275 Hoosiers... car is running very rich, I'd be surprised if it puts down more than 350awd.

Nils, I had Ohlins and I'm looking to make a big upgrade. Would you say DMS or Motons ? I also know the hoosiers make a big jump too
