How hard would it be for the SCCA to do their own durometer testing. Compare A6's/710's to the ST tires. The ST tires have to be X harder then R's Mako, Durometer readings would not be a good way to do this for many reasons. Everything else being equal , there is a definite correlation between duro...

Great job, Nick! I'm proud to say that I was one of your Evolution Performance Driving School students from when, only two years ago? "I knew you when"! :) Makes sense to me.....I guess 8-) Seriously, great job Nick. Your dad came over to talk to us Porsche snobs on the other runway to gi...

2011 Grand Sport 2LT package, $850 optional Jetstream Blue metallic paint over black leather. Manual trans - perfect gearing for solo II, 435 hp LS3 MSRP was $60k, plus extras below: Magnaflow exhaust system. Looks better, sounds better, lighter. Was $1350 new Phadt adjustable 38mm front bar. Was $8...

Been there several times, including just a couple months ago for a project for a new Honda. They still do some work there. The big oval is unique because there is no banking, but the turns are of such a ridiculously large radius that I recall we were running 130 mph in them in a stock Acura on stock...

Fontana is just not a place I care to drive that far for. I'll be at PCA next weekend at ET though. 12 runs, fast and flowing, suits a GT3 perfectly...... I might even exceed 70 mph :ibrightdea:

Ken ... Gary ... George ... :? Totally unofficially, nothing to worry about for a couple years, at least for our area.....unless the economy gets crazy good in the very near future, which is not very likely by all accounts. That said, unless I start getting some more cooperation from my fellow PAX ...

Is that the one where Gary Thomason spun three times in one lap ... driving the Viper Thanks for the great memories, Mako :oops: I remember we were in grid watching more heavy weather coming in (in my borrowed convertible race car) and they just refused to bring up our class (ASP in Scotty's Viper)...

in as is conditions. Email me at radomin dot us @ gmail dot com My information was you were going to buy (or had bought) a 3.8L GT3 to run in ASP.....is that so? :computer: And Jason has no intention of selling that car, and if he does I called first dibs on it like 5-6 years ago - so too late!

Our Max was faster on the 2nd day than any of the cars that finished ahead of him overall, and he missed top time for that course by a mere tenth, let alone the overall win by 0.16. I could not have been more proud :gpower:

I am interested. Leave me a PM with details. Thanks!

Hmm. Sounds to me like more of that Munchof "snark" Warren was talking about on the other forum }:)

I should also point out that George's navigator, Tom S., deserves a lot of the credit for this amazing achievement. Tom has been through a couple of nasty crashes with George over the years, and has taken it all in stride. His talents are of course crucial to the team's success. Nice job, Tom :thumb...

I thought this had been posted here earlier, but I confuse easily :?

Bogart Racing Wheels does 17's and will do any fitment/offset you want. Just bring money. http://www.bogartracingwheels.net/default.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; My SM2 C5 on Bogarts. Very light, built right the first time (can't say that about some others :roll: ), n...

Might want to ask Junior Johnson (multiple Nat. Champ., multiple and current ASP Champ.) how good a stock 'Vette diff. is and what an OS Giken did for the car (C6 Z06). Just sayin, Jason.... Hmm....might also be somewhat interesting to ask Junior just how much he actually paid for that spanky new d...

I think you've got that backwards Will. You probably need to review ancient Z28 Camaro history. The camshaft/heads in the engine he is using will be pulling hard to near Integra rpm levels in that short-stroke V8

Gary, $15k is too much for making it ASP competitive, less than half of that is the real number. ... this should put you in the 2,880 lbs, and you can still do the AC delete and radio delete for another 45 lbs to be removed. Run ASP, SS is a boring class, it is Braun and the rest. Those mods would ...

mangled?! I can't see how you spelled my name "on and on"!? I was wondering who would be first to bring this up: Rhoades, Motonishi, Simanyi, Larsson, Uyeda??...and we have a winner, Aaron! :gpower: Anyway Rick, I am just venting about what I see as a questionable situation in the index. ...

Gary, I only look at around 1600 sets of results a year. This year (and last), I just have not seen that guys are able to improve cars very much when they go to ASP. If all of you Super stock guys were only .2 seconds off of top index each time, you may have a point, but the .2 shift for 2011 isn't...

.....I suppose if you're worried about 2/10th's of a second (or less) keeping you out of the hunt for top Index, then I guess you're right, you should stay home. Of ccourse, if you drive a little blue Lotus...... H's & K's, Rick Ruth I have driven that exact little blue Lotus. There are 5 diffe...

.....To be honest, the two adjustments I can't make any sense of are SS and BS...for exactly opposite reasons. Tell me about it. According to Rick Ruth, an ASP Corvette is only .30 faster than a SS Z06 on a 60 second course, Tom Berry only needs to beat SS by .12 in the Evo, and CSP is basically he...

Wendover is ALWAYS an adventure. How true, and thanks for the kind words, Steve. It snowed on us very hard near McGill also, but nothing like it did in the middle of hwy 318. One stretch there must have had 3 inches of snow on the road surface, with no tire tracks at all because of zero traffic tha...

So, for the 2010 El Toro Pro, shall we hand the trophy to the guy with the GT3 and save him an axle? I happen to think this is a dandy idea :idea: :gpower: No doubt the GT3 is the best SS car at a Pro, and Gary the best driver, but no free trophies will be handed out. Perhaps if the rest of SS is l...

Well sure, but given that stock cars are designed to understeer (maybe the gt3RS doesn't, i don't really know) do you really want to be anywhere near those tire sizes? With less front tire you need more rear roll stiffness which is not good for putting down power in a RWD car and at some point will...

245/315 sounds horrible to me. Keep in mind the weight bias is 64 percent rear. BTW, the stock tires on the 2010 GT3 RS are 245/325, so this is a very normal ratio for this car. The 255/315 combo takes it quite a bit towards less push than stock. Actually, this ratio change just about makes up for ...
