Your Nova was crazy fast.. 5.70 seconds? Maybe 5.68?? All the top PT cars are in that range.. I remember DSE 70 being 5.76 (a few years ago) at one point and my car (way back when) being 5.74 and someone (Morrison Vette?) being 5.72.. all VERY close
When we installed the new Penske shocks and disconnected the rear sway bar BP set the new track record of 5.46 seconds..
Now remember.. the slalom like a fast steering and somewhat compliant car.. something BP is right now, although I don't feel as fast in it since I was so used to a stiffer car.. but I'm working on it and in trying to find the perfect combo of spring rates and shock settings.
I think my time equates to around 55mph.. and it was done on Pilot Sport II tires. The slalom is a good indicator but it's a very specific test.. for example it doesn't tell how the car will do on a 180 autocross turn. That's where the skid pad time comes into effect.
I will look up your time, but it was certainly fast..
Personally I think your car, my car, the DSE car, Stielows car.. all the top cars (the list is getting longer) are so fast that it comes down to who is behind the wheel.. Ryan from DSE, Nathan for OCRC, Your driver Jay, David Pozzi, Tucker, etc can win a race in any one of those cars.
