Great stuff all around Joe, thanks. Funny how video NEVER really captures the corkscrew "experience" that well. Camera mounted to the tow hook or what? Nice low mount where ever it is. I hope to get back to the track soon, but perhaps not until spring.

Hey Joe, really glad that you got some data going there... I remember the 996C2 days of old where we used to do the very same thing. On those cars it was certainly good for a 10 degree drop/change and well worth it as far as tracking goes.

Looks like fun out there!

PS The only weird thing we noticed was that the opening in the bumper along with the plastic feeder vent is a good bit smaller than the one on the Cayman R. Strange but still!

How much was the 3rd radiator install? PM me... just curious since I'm going to have it put in over the winter. Yeah, I'm not happy about the small opening in Spyders. It's much larger in my 2008 S, for example.

Keep forgetting: Joe, my PS2's used to squeal in the corners when I pushed them, but much less than how F1's are squealing now.

Same goes to you mate! I like that you did it right... with a 6speed:P

Hey Joe,
Great track action video!
I was in Sonoma last week and wanted to drive down to see you, but my wife had other plans.
One day I would like to do a DE at Laguna sega and sears point.

Thanks. I was 'trying' to be smooth. I guess I need more work.

Awesome video Joe, one of the best I've seen.

Thanks!

BTW, did you paint your emblem yourself, or send it out?

Thanks! If you haven't guessed, I love to put together videos.

I painted the emblem myself. Several coats of guards red paint from the hobby store. It's holding up well so far after 2 years.
