Re: Corvette vs. Porsche

Cloaked, that was not a win for me, it was fourth place! What the video did not show was the cars running up front. There were three Porsches and a Diasio(sort of a 2/3s scale 962 with a motorcycle engine) ahead of us until one of the Porsches had a coolent leak and had to pit. The Diasio was turning laps 10 seconds faster then me and he could not keep the two 911s in sight!
Of course the Porsches were pure factory racecars that weighed 2400-2600 pounds have sequetial gearboxes and around 480hp(not to mention very good drivers).
To answer some of the other questions, to enter the race you need full cage fire suppression etc. My Z06 is a 2001 with no engine mods other than headers and exhaust, full cage, Penske coil overs, Brembo big brake kit, Pirelli 305f/325r slicks on Fikse wheels. Zippycar is basically the same with the minor exception of a 427 motor.
Cheers,
Jim

Re: Corvette vs. Porsche

Nice video. Looks to be a pretty cool track/club to run with. Not much of that going on in this part of the country... not that I've had the time... or car... to find out.

Maybe I'll be stationed in the Midwest again after this tour.

Zippycar, you dummy. It's the same video. Harder to remember things since you turned 40?

lol NICE now this reminds me of someone that posted on another forum where this guy started his thread with I spanked a BMW after reading his thread I began to laugh as ppl began torching him. That poster needs to come over here and see some of the videos then he will know the meaning of spanking someone.
