Nice video! Looks like fun.

I love the A Bros........but I'd rather hear sweet flat 6 music and rev matching.

 

nice vid...look like you're having a blast...
+1 with the flat 6 revving....

 

The sound from the camera was a garbled mess, full of static etc. Used a Hero fish eye camera that mounted in a waterproof plastic housing. I would have preferred to use the engine sound, but A-bros is a good second choice.

 

Nice video. cant see the change in elevations, which really make it a thrill at times.

Nice to have such a nice support crew(wife).

How did the ROW feel at the Glen? Any hiccups at all on any transitions or turns?

What tires and brakes did you have?

Any recent side shots of the car with the ROW after the track event?(wondering if it got any lower)

Basically your side pic will help me determine if I'm going to put mine on or not.

She enjoyed getting the credits

How did the ROW feel at the Glen? Any hiccups at all on any transitions or turns?
The suspension performed quite well. It was very stable through the esses at 110 mph and through and over the rumble strips in the bus stop at 75 mph. I have -.8 deg camber in the front, -1.8 in the rear, maxed out with the stock lower control arms. Ran 36 psi hot in the front and 44 psi hot in the rear and had VERY little under steer.

What tires and brakes did you have?
Tires: Nexen 3000 front 225-40 ZR18, 220 TW rating, rear 275-35 ZR18
Brakes; Zimmerman cross drilled, cryo treated rotors, Pads, performance friction, street/track compound. All new in May.
Any recent side shots of the car with the ROW after the track event?(wondering if it got any lower)
It does not fell lower, the suspension was on for 2 months prior to the track session.

My avatar shows H&R lowering springs installed. They were replaced with the new shocks, springs etc with the ROW M030 kit so the car sits a bit higher. The higher stance is invaluable when putting on and taking off the trailer.

NOTE:
With the addition of a stiffer suspension, the car would take a higher lateral g turn and the oil pressure would drop to 2.5 bars. I will be adding a X-51 oil pan kit and an Accusump kit. Then the sticky pirelli's, GT3 lower control arms, adjustable dog bones in the rear. Now the car will really hold a turn, I will need seats to keep myself in place. It just keeps getting better.
