I'm plugging my ears (nah nah nah nah) now. You and Ben keep on whispering R6 and Z214 into my ears. I KNOW I will get hooked, which is why I am continuing to resist. LOL.
If you have an epic track session that you want to highlight, get me your solo data and video. I'll do it for you no problem.
Thanks, man! Looking at the video, there is still plenty of time left on the table. I really biffed turn 10. I always freak out at that turn...

Joe, I'd take his offer if I were you... Easy for me to say since it's not my $$$$ going into the addiction!!
I've heard that R6s like -3.5 or so, but mooty will know better and correct me if I'm wrong.

always looking Joe. Test drove the new Cayman S with PDK and it was really nice. Very little power so I doubt PDK is gonna make much difference on the track as long as you manual shift well.
once you run R6 you will ask yourself why do I ever use any other tires. It grip super well and give you plenty of warning before losing grip plus it last a long long time

my video does not compare to yours as far as effort goes. I did made this video recently when I switch from ceramic to steel rotors for my Z06 with wheel well shots. Gopro got really hot after one session inside wheel well and when I reach to retrieve it just fell off - got lucky the thing did not fall off on the track always looking Joe.

Agree on the PDK thoughts. I think that the less power the car makes, the less of an advantage PDK is if you can shift well.
Plugging my ears with you as well.... Lmao!

Yes! Mike! I've been thinking about trying a wheel well shot like that next! Imagine late in the day where you see the rotors glowing red! How did you mount that? Pic, please!

I tape one of those adhesive pad for gopro on the frame and aim it toward the wheel. I would secure the camera some how just in case adhesive fail because of heat etc

Awesome run Joe! Great way to finish the season.
I agree with Mike. The sooner you switch over, the better.
You have to do it, I've never given you bad advice. Such as get dedicated track wheels, switch to NT01's, get LCA's, get track alignment, go flat out over T1...oh wait that was bad advice. Never mind.
