What a day.
I am still thrown back by how well this car did with the stock suspension and tires. I didn't expect for me to lap so many in my intermediate(yellow) group. For being my first time in this car at the track, I really think I did well. Mostly because of the feedback I was getting from the others on the track. They were impressed seeing this car maneuver so well. The only drivers with better talent that passed me were an STI, C6 Z06, C5 Z06, and some Porsche Turbo. Other than that, all the M5's, M3's, other Porsche's, STI's, and whatever else was on the track stayed behind or got lapped.
I need to share a little something about the C6 Z06, IT'S A MONSTER! That thing handled on rails. Coming around the last turn before a long straight, turn 15 to be exact, he came around from behind. He most likely had more speed coming out of the turn but, once we got on the straight, we went full throttle from the beginning of the straight. He caught up to me and slowly went by me. It was like baby steps instead of walking me. At 3/4 down the straight, I let go and he had a car length on me. Remember guys, I have a surpercharger. So knowing I have possibly 1500 more pounds of weight on the car, and he most likely carried a few more mph around the last turn, it was a good run. Side to side on the freeway, It'd be a good match up.
I already know what my next mods are, swaybars and R compound tires.
