Great video Joe. How do the RA1's act at breaking point? Seemed pretty progressive on the video. Too bad your instructor was held up for a good part of the vid by those 2 other cars. Awsome!

Run 335 RA-1's here as well, very progressive breakaway, nice. Should have brought my camera to mid-ohio today. Let instructor take the wheel, he laughed the entire time. 2wd turbos are sweet...

How's RA compare to Cups. Who sell them? I was getting tired of having to wait for the Cups to heat up in the cold weather here.

Joe,
this guy is obviously good, hitting those apexes expertly while talking
and not having excessive wheelspin coming out of corners, NICE!
I was humbled this year in a similar way buy Rick P. who runs a 997 Cup
Car in the IMSA series. Very fun to see what my car can actually do!
Humbling,
thanks for the vid.

Looks like that driver knows how to handle a monster! I was shocked by the lack of wheelspin when powering out of the corners!

I really like them. They wear pretty well too. They get hot quick also. I prefer them to the PSC's, but that's just my opinion.

No rub at all! I put them on my 996TT and they rubbed through the boost hose. With the GT2's wider offset, I've had no problems through 3 track days. I'm running 335/30/18, I ordered them from Mike at EVOMS.
