I'm already on it. I'll email you some info & we can discuss options.

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.

Oh man. The new stuff is cool. The Z06's are like a well engineered, streetable race car with big tires, big brakes, big power & aero. Of course, getting neat old muscle cars to handle & go fast is way cooler ... more of an accomplishment ... and expresses more individuality. Otherwise everyone out there would be Corvettes.


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
Agreed.
