Default Could not stand it

I could not stand it any longer, took RS to AMP (Atlanta motorsports park) Sunday will 220 miles on it. Short shifted my way around , less that 5k revs at all times. Used this approach to practice momentum where I could. Tried not to lug not over-rev.

Compared to my 2015 GT3 which was the best car I have driven to date:
Turn end is simply awesome. No push at all. Now I could not get on the gas hard to cause throttle push but carrying momentum did not cause any. Car felt supper planted though fast S's coming on front straight. The PCCB brakes are fantastic. I like the modulation and they are strong. I could say that's due to tire contact patch and less speed but I went much deeper given lower speed, still felt great. Less ABS intervention.
I am really glad I got them.

Just 700 miles to go and need to have it broken before Smokies event in April

Yeah I am really happy with the car. Its is a step (or few more) ahead and I wondered how/if that would be possible.

There will be TWO Purple Monsters at the Smokies? I may want to spend as much time behind the camera as on the track.

Naaaah!

But I will enjoy taking pics.

Hugh gave me the honor and privilege of driving his purple beauty on the track. I concur with him on the turn in - much better than GT3, even in putt putt mode. As soon as I disappeared over the hill to turn 8 I was able to bounce it off the rev limiter repeatedly, and got it sideways. By the time I got back in sight of Hugh, I had the car back under control.

It's an awesome ride - very impressive indeed.

Sean told me how awesome your RS is and quite an improvement over the GT3.

Super happy you're enjoying it and we'll be meeting at the Smokies. Just 700 miles to go.

Who could resist such a nice weekend! I was at Road Atlanta or I would have probably seen you at AMP. I'll be there on 3/20 or 3/27. Let me know if you are going to be around. I'll have 365s on the front of my GT3 so I'll be testing the hopeful reduction in under steer in turn 14. See you at the smokies event if we don't connect before then.

Nice to see someone actually using the car rather than collecting.

Nice!
