Hey guys... just got the new Super Four Shootout with the Buschur and HKS cars. Did they run the same course that you guys did last year? and if they did, how do the results compare to how you guys did?

It was the same track/testing configuration. The only exception being that we had to accelerate to and brake from 150mph, not 140mph as did the Superfour guys. That said, our overall time was approx 2 seconds longer than winning HKS car. But I think it's safe to say that having to accelerate to and brake from the higher speed took a bit longer than 2 extra secs (more like 5-6 sec, I'm guessing). So yes, I think its safe to say the shop car and Paul G. could have laid down some smack

With all due respect, could of, would of, should of...

How about kudos for the HKS car and leave it at that. If you want to lay down the smack you have to compete

 

I've already given kudos to the HKS team. They did a great job. But our car was quicker on that same track configuration the year before. Of course, conditions were most certainly different between the two different test days so trying to draw solid conclusions is not a good idea. But comparing the test data is revealing and worthy of toilet reading.

Typical of Vishnu to rain on someones parade. BTW, thanks for using HKS products in your cars.

 

Since when is answering an objective question about track times raining on someone else's parade? Are you from HKS??

 

My bad, never mind. I guess that fact the Shiv always has to say that his cars are better even though they were not there this year does not matter.

 

Just curious but what type of tires were run on the Vishnu car? When it competed of course.

 

BFG KDs. We would have used the new Neovas (standard Semi R-compound tire that comes standard on the Elise) but they weren't available last year Both are great tires but the Neovas are stickier. At least according to Tire Rack. We have yet to try it ourselves.

 

Dustin did you guys run Stoptech brakes also ??

 

Yes we used stoptech brakes on the feet

 

Ok thanks

 

It's not like the ad for those things with the vishnu shop car isn't on every frickin' page of every car magazine.

This has been played out before. When they DO compete and win, theres a whole 'nother round of excuses and trash talking from other camps.

 

Always amazing to see how people either don't stop to read all posts or just don't comprehend what was said. Ruchmate asked a straightforward question and got a straightforward answer from Shiv ... no need to get all bent out of shape. Many kudos go to ALL Evos that choose to compete in various magazine articles/contests.
