Very nice video, thanks for sharing. Going to watch it in more detail tonight when I get home from work.

What else can you tell us about your car? I could find very little in the way of specs besides what you wrote in the video description...

On the straights, that Vette turns in to a dot real quick. Was this EVO at Reese?

Skidmark- Car is a 2006RS, 380whp @ 7000rpm, 330lb/ft, weighs about 2850lbs wet without me in it, 2.2 built longblock, Tomei ARMS 20g turbo, I only run it at spring rate so max boost is ~14lbs, full spherical bearings on suspension, TEIN SRC with 16k front springs, 14k rear springs, stock swaybars, Girodisc 2 piece rotors with Raybestos pads, I run different tires depending on what is available. Ask away, I have nothing to hide in terms of specs.

Thanks man, wasn't meaning to insinuate you were hiding anything

Do you have any shots of the interior? Do you run with NASA, SCCA, or comparable groups? You are very close to TTS power-to-weight limits so that's what got me curious...

Gorgeous car!

I plan on running the car in NASA St2 next year but so far I am just playing around with it. I will take some interior pictures this weekend when I am up at Buttonwillow. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Skidmark - 2850lbs is definitely nice but I am use to driving my little dinky Honda Civic track cars that weigh 2000lbs. The difference in cornering and braking is so noticeable.
