found out why my car couldn't hold more than 18psi top end, since beginning of last year when i put the car back together. the J-pipe hit something and bent, the gasket is completely blown off on the one side. it's amazing that it can even hold 18 psi with a hole that big.

just watch the video, that car seems squirly, maybe cold tires at first. but man, he took at the end of the video. he said the new car has more power to weight ratio than the z06 and on even stickier tires. i saw him last week at Summit Main, he was doing TT with SCCA PDX. he ran 1:18.xx and he said it wasn't even on the stickiest tires he had

He told me he was just testing it for grip. That was his first time behind the wheel. It was towards the end of the first session. I'm sure he was waaaaaaaaay faster by the end of the day! 1:18 is really fast at Summit Main. How did u do there? My best there is a 1:24.

i did 1:25.9 last year at Hyperfest in TTA. only got 3 laps in before i had a flat on hoosiers R6. and i ran all year last year with the boost leak i just posted.

i didn't time myself last week at summit, was there instructing and having fun with friends, and was on street tires.

i ran 1:26.xx with my s2k in TTC trim in 2010 before the evo.

The autocross was strong today for some of us on here! Good first day out.

Funny how my ribs/back didn't hurt while driving my runs, but they did hurt most of the time moving around today. Same thing with carting last week, it hurt to turn wheel but adrenaline took over (Marc calls that pride if I remember correctly) and I was able to still drive a few more heats and finish the night. Driving home was a whole different story and now a week tomorrow still hurting is kind of annoying already. Maybe I am just a *****

^ dayumm.. is your car that loose that you need a wing that huge, or you trying to compensate for something else

michael schumacher called and said he wants his F1 wing back, he needs it for the 2012 season.

But below 60 mph, anything faster than that would rip the trunk right off. Lol
