Jamie,

I came up and introduced myself at the timing box early in the day. Your runs were truly impressive. If you wouldn't mind I would be happy to post some of the pictures I snapped of your ACR in this thread. Just thought I would ask for the "ok"...

Its truly a beastly looking car.

Thanks! And definately post anything you want, I like the ones with the wing on the best, it looked naked after I took it off.

 

Wingless did gain you a few mph and a atleast a little more than a tenth...

Great looking car, congrats on the times, Dr's and that thing is going to be in the 10's w/out question.

 

Awesome numbers, and incredible car.

 

Very impressive driving.....in SoFla hard to get anywhere near that with the heat and humidity ......at least we have no altitude correction.

 

Thanks! I actually lived in Jupiter for years and still have a place there and spend a lot of time there and have literally raced at Moroso 100's of times and usually in the fall the times are within .1 an 1 mph difference from up here. Now when the weather is really cool up here it can be more than that but usually the 2 tracks are pretty close as it can get pretty cool at night at Moroso as well. Also we don't use altitude correction at our tracks up here either, that is something they reserve for out west.

 

i actually like it better without the wing (if you the wing pillars could be removed)!

either way , sick ride

 

Damn, wicked!!

 

shots taken of Jamie's Viper during the MIR 11-22-08 rental

plus 1 shot of his Z06

 

Man those are some of the best quality pictures I have ever seen! What kind of camera does one need to be able to take pictures that look that good?
thanks Jamie

 

I like to think I had something to do w/ the pics

let me know if you want any full resolution copies of the above ACR pics.

I have a Nikon D80, which these days is not the best option out there but still capable of great pictures. The lens is the real key, I was using my 50mm prime f1.4, which is an excellent portrait lens, but delivers very sharp pictures of anything you point it at! the best thing about the 50mm lens is that it does not distort the picture as we see it, its pretty darned close to what we see w/ the human eye.

another few pics from the day

My car..........pre



a few cars cooling down

 

Damn those are some kick *** pics Sniz. What lens did you use?

 

50mm f1.4

 

Pretty awesome!! What were your 60fts? Can you comment on the Z-06 vs. the Viper in terms of launch and gearing in relation to the 1/4 mile?

Thanks!
