Okay here are some pics of my race & some of the former racecars:

(1) My current 824 HP GT2
(2) My old Can-Am car - 1850 lbs 847 hp - Danny Sullivan drove it..
(3) My Spice GTP car with Cosworth 3.5 DFR F1 engine (F1 V8 that Revs to 14K rpm) - pull 4.5 g's
(4) My old Aurora GTS/TA car - Irv hoerr & Darin Brassfield drove it & won 24 hours of Daytona in it. I sold it to one of my good friends.

Click on the pics and a larger one will appear...

Also, here is a link to an incar video in my GT2 at Sebring running 2:10 in a lot of traffic. Notice how the speed climbs like a tach 100-180 mph...

Scroll down & you will find my video
Then right click and save-as and play it from your hard drive.
The video has my data acquisition in it...

Enjoy...

Top real speed is 204mph - due to all the downforce...

A few actual speeds from the data acq on road courses...

Sebring 182 mph
Watkins glen 184 mph
Daytona 196 mph (194 with 1/2inch wicker on tail for more downforce on in-field)
MidOhio 171mph

There have been rumors about whether the fastest shift programs will engage during the break in period. Several people have stated that it will not and others disagree. I would assume that you can expect the same shift performance as your friends M5 once the break in period has passed.

Thanks guys for all the input...

Before I decide I will be driving my friends new M5 that shifts faster and is already through the break-in period...

Everyone's input has been appreciated....
