On R7's or Pirelli slicks? That's ripping.

Congratulations on surviving the wait!! What color did you get again? Oh wait I think you might have mentioned it once or twice as your excitement boiled over? ������
Appreciate the write up - it does make the wait harder!

Post up some vid or data for those 1:09s! Would love to see your lines so I can learn. That is INSANELY fast! What tires are you running?

WOW, we need to drive together because I usually lap P cars all day....turbos GT3 and RS in my little ole' red neck Camaro.

With only about 200 miles so far in the .2RS, it is superior than the .1RS in every way I can think of.

Agree 100%. The .2 3RS does everything better. The engine and tranny combination is a big step up from the .1.

No doubt, and the suspension seems much smoother with a greater transition when you go into sport mode.

My PB at WG was 2:00 min flat on used Pirelli DH. The rest were on Hoosiers

Ok, that makes sense. Great driving, definitely ripping. Which of the two tires do you prefer?
I just don't see a 1.10 at Lightning with .2 3RS on stock tires. Dunlop's or Cup 2's.

I actually like the Pirellis better. It takes a while to get used to them. Their therapeutic window is very narrow. Cup2s are great tires. In my experience they're about 1.5-2 s slower than Hoosiers. I was doing 1:11s on cup2s at Lightning in a GT3. So 1:09 in a new RS is definitely doable. I'd put money on that 😉

Nick we met once. Your camaro's breaks were over heating if I remember correctly. As far as lapping P cars. I think we can all agree it's mostly about the nut behind the wheel my friend.
