Welcome aboard! I have #35 of the Watkins Glen cars.

I would also think it to be excessive input, but when I go back and look at the times I've started to slide there's always a fraction of a second at huge input levels like seen here. There's no thinking about what you're doing in a situation like this. You need to be reacting instintually, or...

What, nobody else has any interesting pictures? OK, I'll go again.

For 285's or 295's in the front you loose the rear portion on the fender liner and grind away some flanges/seems. It's a matter of priorities. Is it your daily, a full on track car, or where in between? If a full on track car, you can go as far as a 315/30/18 square setup. You need -3.0...

I am currently running 285/30/18 and 295/30/18. I tweaked my final order to 18x10 ET17 and 18x11 ET47. I will run 295/30/18 and 315/30/18 on the new wheels when they arrive. Probably will go with Hoosier R8's, which is a new tire that just came out. It's a full race slick.

ARH certianly will do it, but I would imagine they'd all be willing for whatwever upgrade fee they ask.

You have Watkins Glen a few hours away! Having tasted the track, there's not much thrill to be had on the streets for me. I do find myself looking at entrance ramps, exit ramps, etc differently. I'm always thinking about my line. Applying the idea of late apexing makes regular driving...

Just another day at the track

Hey Buddy, your tire pressure is too low!

See what a cream puff it is? Still has all those factory fresh stickers. I'll have to check, the protective film might still be on the screen. Only driven on track days!

The answer I was looking for was the computer displaying a 121 mile range with a full tank. It's interesting all the observations being made while I had tunnel vision to the oddity I was focused on.

The first set was from a different supplier and they took about 75 days. That was forged aluminum in one of their standard models. I'm planning on 90 days for these. You can get any offset you want. I finalized on 18x11 ET47 for the rear. I had said 18x10 ET15 for the front, but yesterday...

Yeah, full tank of gas and my range is 121 miles. That's actually coming up as a result of the drive to and from the gas station. I don't get 100 miles from a tank on the track.

Of coarse 32mpg is obtainable, every time you let off the gas and coast you're getting over 35mpg at that moment. Edit: Then again, what is it like for you guys with automatics? Coming over the crest of a hill during a lazy drive I can put it in neutral and see 99mpg for a while.

OK, so what's wrong with this picture?
