guy was out there when I was doing day 2 in the rain, he was all hunkered down in his foul weather gear and shooting shot after shot and laughing at the faces we made at him when going by
I like my car, but agree on the engine. It's not necessarily underwhelming, but I expected more. I came from a slower car, but i'm never blown away. I'm waiting for my next track day to do some experimentation with different modes.
Oh, and i've got an automatic, so that's part of the issue...
There are a lot of YouTube videos of people at Spring Mountain, you can check some of those too.
When you're in the car and following an instructor, they're talking to you and giving you guidance. Listen and follow and watch tail lights, etc. You'll be great.
Something I hadn't thought about last time I was at the track. What settings do you disable for HPDE days on track with ptr set to either sport or track 1, Is there a config that will disable the lane keeping and collision avoidance, or do you disable those yourselves before the track day?
Might be just an issue of having a lot of work and insufficient staff. I don't know about Southern California, but up in Central California there is a definite shortage of auto techs. Combine that with difficulty in moving from brand to brand due to having to learn all of the ins and outs of...
Not a problem, the implication of my statement is that these will sell well. My presumption is that anything sold as "track focused" will be bought by the back road hooligan crowd whether they need it or not
I did all the crazy high speed stuff back in my early 20s. I've got the damaged back and neck to prove it. That's why I have to ride such an upright bike like my Tiger 800
Scouts are fun bikes. I've got a Tiger 800 from 2012. Great bike til I bounced off a toyota corolla because I "came out of nowhere". Helps to avoid motorcycles if you watch what is coming up before you pull into the road
Car: CT4 Auto
Track: North
Best Lap: 1:38 day 1 (poured day 2)
Autocross: 34 something, also in the rain
I was in the slow group, so was top of the Auto-x and about middle overall
It was fun, got stomach issues on day 2 but squeezed cheeks and drove on. Track was kinda disappointing because...
Posts #7 and 16 look good. #7 shot #2 has the car framed with a disappearing set of lines. Looks great, draws the eye to the car. #16 shot #1 has a great angle, but maybe over expose it a little and play with something like lightroom to bring out some highlights, or get the sun over your...
Was driving in Tour mode this afternoon. Used the toggle to enable PTM to Dry. Steering firmed up, held revs, supsension got stiff, exhaust got loud. I'm assuming I was now in Track Mode with PTM Dry
Pulled into the local Target parking lot by a guy with a nicely set up Charger. He pulled up and told me “Cool Car, I’ve got a 5 in the same color”. Best I’ve done so far.
