Default Anyone @ The Ridge on 12/26?

Tempted to head out and depreciate the car. Weather looks to be clearing up.

Awesome how the video you post in you sig is edited to show how far superior your better-than-everyone-else car is compared to all the cars you pass (and so meticulously list in the description). Your driving is ... pretty terrible. I would be much more interested in you posting a full, unobstructed lap where we could evaluate timing. That won't happen, as I assume the result would be utterly disappointing and embarrassing given the hardware you have to work with. Next time you're at the Ridge focus on becoming a better driver, not how your shiny new car is better than everyone else's.

I assume that you know Stephen well enough to say something so funny

@Stephen - have fun at Ridge, I'll be lying on a beach in Cuba on 12/26

Thanks for taking the time to make that most enlightening post.

Now get a drink, get over yourself, and chill the f*ck out.

Not sure how one video can be that offensive. Was asked to piece something together from friends/members and took some time and did. (almost) everyone enjoyed it and reading about my experience:

Post #57 and #116:

https://rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-...essions-4.html

However, yup; was driving horribly that day. 2hrs zzz, pick-up the car the evening prior to a 4hr+ drive down to the track. Breaking it in, trying new lines, and all braking, throttle inputs, shifting 6500-7500 rpms, too much to adjust to, etc. Very correct on poor driving. Not one clean lap and too much to adjust to. Video obviously shows the cars' ease to drive/potential with a sh*t driver.

Back on topic,... anyone heading out 12/26?

LOL, that is why I stopped recording the laps I ran. Everyone is an expert on driving. Enjoy the new car!

Wow. Never seen someone make such an angry post based on something in an OP's signature. Maybe if it read "You all suck; I'm a god in my RS!" it would be somewhat warranted...but it doesn't. Were you abused by an RS as a child?

That's sad E. You should record and keep, enjoy and share with like minded people. Love to see your ORP laps! Haven't been there yet.

Thanks PJ. Too bad this day is cancelled now. Was going to look up Charles D. @ Gerber to dyno RS and try exhaust mod. Jamie B. And I will have to wait.

Not taking the bait and going to troll. Leaving that for fishcation in FL w/Erik post Winterfest.

Pass Cup cars, get latte, and go to 5-star dinner with 991 RS. Someone wise once told me this.

Enjoyed watching the video. Only drove once with 997 GT2 at Ridge. U. with Nordic Gold GT2 and I had fun. But I get 7 GT2 now. New perspective.
