Michael Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 Insane car! thanks Fred sure feels that way driving around with ear plugs in. But thankfully mostly it goes unnoticed when I drive it on the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete917 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I love your car. It sounds and looks awesome. Great video. Is that a new camera setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 I love your car. It sounds and looks awesome. Great video. Is that a new camera setup? No the new video funds keep gettting taken by something more important... the big wheels and slicks, some more suspension work.. Current camera is my 7 year old Sony video camera. I think most the problem with my vids is the host site that over compresses the videos. I have heard there are better host sites. The in car camera I'm considering should be availabe in a week or two. It's a 1 to 4 camera system with data called DIVA made by Chase cam. One feature I like is the intant on feature, when you start the car the camera starts recording. I'm trying to hold off till I sell some spare wide race rims before I buy something else for the car.

Michael Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 how can I complain I just have this black mistress my wife tolerates. big black got a sweet trap door style fuel cell today. 27 gallon. I keep a 200 mile tow card so the spare won't be missed. I'm overdue for a track day. R to RSR has a great looking 917 rim, comments, experiance? I prefer the 5 bolt fakes, anyone run these at the track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 This was a pleasant surprise. Link to my 911 article. Scissor lift mock up new rims and slicks. These 12.5 inch wide front slicks were too wide, need to return them for 11s. Next track event Halloween weekend. Get out and drive them before the wet weather.

Michael Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) And you're right up there with him!! Why do you have to be the camera-man each time? Cheers toyou, with an experianced driver the Cup car would of ran away quickly form my hot rod. In fact as I chased the cup car he drove baiscally off line, dust swirling up behind his car. I was amazed that the Cup car could stick that well in the marbles, while I worked my hardest on line to stay with him. I thought he was mocking my old car. there was this one video, above the wind noise you can hear my car as I stretch Pat out a couple of times. This track is Streets of Willow, very tight, I like longer sweepers. My latest used car.... this track prepped blue 2002 ZO6. Nice little monster for only $20k.

Northy Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 These US tracks don't have much run-off do they..... Looks like a very safe way to explore the limits of the car. Just out of curiosity, how much do track days in the US cost and how much is insurance cover? Just trying to gauge it against the UK. Great car by the way Michael, looks and sounds like a proper beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
