I was at the same track for the June event. It seemed brutally hot then, too. I had owned the car for a full three days. 🤣 Thanks for sharing a video. I think I need to get one of those Garmin Catalysts. It looks like the video using the Garmin camera is rock steady even at 140 mph.

With what will they be replaced?

A Cobra! Wow, that was cool! :clap:

What is the device hanging from the windshield? To what is your camera mounted? And then the view switched at 3:55, I assume to the device hanging off the windshield. I am sure you already know this, but the view is much better, if it was not for the shakiness. Is there any way to get rid of...

@krisk I need the opinion of a better, more experienced driver than me. What sort of speed are you hitting from 7 to 10A, and what sort of speed do you drop down to for making the left turn through 10A? I know you might have posted a video that shows mph on it, but I can't locate it right now.

Whew! That makes me feel better. The one in that video was cutting out at 155 mph (and I saw a YouTuber saying his cut out at an indicated 158 on the dash). I can see that affecting a track day on some of the tracks with longer straights once the horsepower is bumped up. For example, Michelin...

Looks a lot nicer than I thought it would.

I had 3.73 gears in an 81 Z28, with a highly modified 400 cubic inch engine (6.6 liters, for you youngin's) huge cam, too much compression, headers, 4 barrel, aftermarket cylinder heads, and I went 140mph. The car was still accelerating, but, um, that was about 7,000 rpm, and no, back in the...

A taller tire is the same as a taller rear gear, i.e., lower numerically. Who knows what gear he had in his 1971 Z28, probably 3.73 (standard for 1971, although 4.11 was available), with only 330 horsepower (actually a lot for 1971 but laughable for today as the Ecoboost would stomp it in a...

I like how he had very little change to the rear suspension, basically leaving it stock and just addressing an issue of flex in one area and the camber (getting zero camber, the opposite of what most of us want for performance, but perfect for the drag strip). I also noticed he replaced the...

Is it difficult to get rid of the speed limiter? I ask because I keep seeing these dyno tuning videos where they keep switching into lower gears to avoid the speed limiter. Like this one at Palm Beach Dyno (right at time stamp 7:15): If the speed limiter can be turned off, why not just...

That list has some of the engine parts incorrect. E.g., ported heads are gone and replaced with stock Gen 4 cylinder heads. So cost is $0 unless you are going to include the cost of every part ever installed and removed after testing. Try 5 intake manifolds? Add up the cost of all 5? All...

Just curious months later how you are getting along. I know your profile says you live in Florida, but it has been an unseasonably cold and wet fall and winter. How are the Continental tires behaving for you? I replaced my Trofeo RS tires with Michelin PS4S after you started this thread...

And if you see in the middle of that video, another NA S650 ran 9.6 with no cams, sealed engine.

Apparently they can stop by the local gas station, fill up with E85, and go run 9s.

Is "fitment" a funny word for installation, or am I missing something?

I have already strayed too far into political topics here, further than I intended, so I will refrain from stating what I think New Zealanders should have done back in 2019 in response to your government's violation of such a fundamental human right as self defense. Stating it clearly would...

Yeah, um, that is what I said. You can buy a GT3RS at another dealer if you are willing to cough up a six figure mark up, but his dealer will not do that.

My son sells Porsche. Want a 911 GT3RS? You must have purchased 3 cars from that dealership previously, or they will not sell you one. Not three Porsches ever from anybody, but just from that dealer. And the dealer is waiting and waiting on inventory because they have so many buyers that...

At the gas station, getting gasoline, while checking my oil. No, but the dealer might have when changing the oil. Not that I noticed.
