I think 2 things would help ...

#2 Going fast in a 3000# 600 hp beast .... on 245 size tires ... is a manhood test. So let's increase the grip & stability.






Should I call or we can do brakes and shocks etc via email?????


I don't think that people with "PT" cars ----- watching these videos --- have any idea what driving these old beasts on those skinny tires is truly like. They watch the Corvettes with their HUGE tires -- HUGE brakes - Low coefficient of drag, fly by us and think how slow we are and why don't we just blow them up. HAHAHAHAHA OMG if they even had a f'n clue... I've said this in the past but I just don't think people understand. Two piston small rotors - single piston small rotor -- skinny tires -- lots of HP..... you discover that going into a corner and getting some speed scrubbed off is easier to say than do.

Where you really notice the BRAKING prowess -- is watching the deep braking of the LOTUS as compared to other cars. It's not the HP there that makes it fast -- it's the BRAKING.

I have no desire to go into the dirt at T1 -- or T14.... LOL
