Yea....that was on street tires too. The car is unbeatable in the wet....the Qaufie hooks up, and throttle modulation is easy as pie with the SC.... It rotates very very nicely. The real joy of that car is it's handling at the limit. The SC is actually kinda stupid for the street - WAY too much power - you simply cant use it and stay alive or keep your license. Right now the bypass is zip tied open, and it's still silly fast, even down 80 or 90 HP.
I've tried explaining this to a certain Ferrari collecting knucklehead at my local coffee shop, but he doesn't get it. "Too much power?" he says "Impossible!"
Well, yea, you rich, old money A-hole.... for the STREET. The track is another whole ball game. It's like it's spring loaded on R-compounds, and that's SWEET! Very predictable, smooth power delivery. I'm sure that's why it's such a monster in the wet. Oh, and the fact that 60% of it's 2300lbs is over those LSD driven front wheels...
lol....It makes a great snow / ski car too. The looks on the faces of the SUV drivers is priceless as I fly up the mountain and pass them in town, and claw out of parking spots they get stuck in.
hahahaha.... But seriously, the Supermoto is more practical for LA. Sure, it's top speed is only about 100mph, but it uses 6 VERY short gears to get there. The first 4 are REALLY short, so it's perfect for squirting through holes in traffic. Lane splitting turns a 2 hour commute into a 1/2 hour one, just stay alert! It's like playing Tetris for keeps, with 4000 pound blocks piloted by distracted soccer moms. When it rains, it's like playing the same game on ice....
My autocross skills have served me well on the bike - don't look at the cones, look at the spaces BETWEEN the cones, and go THERE.
The penalty for hitting one is a lot more than two seconds though....
I'm done with racing, at least for now. Too ego driven - to feel good, I have to make other people feel bad by beating them. It's not really my thing anymore....although I still get the urge now and again to show some tailgating butthole in a $$$$ sportscar how to properly apex a decreasing radius offramp.....
