Boris, you do know the factory spacers are not longer studs, right?

Did professional racer Scott Watkins race his way back to the ego stroking, X50 loving CFG board? For someone with all his worldy experience, I sure don't recognize his name except for a few posts about incorrect tire pressures a long time ago.
I've got a few videos of my car and some other rennlisters at and over the limit <a href="http://www.paceglobal.com/encontrolmeter/ej" target="_blank">here</a> if he wants to prequalify my driving abilities. Hell, one of us actually has a (gulp) real race car. <img src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" border="0" alt="[hiha]" />
Sacha, good decision to stick with the same tires. Wait until the rears wear out at roughly the same time as the fronts and then change all four.

Sachin,
When you get ready to replace all four tires, you might consider the new Bridgestone S-02A's. I find them excellent and quite a bit better than the old S-02's.

I take it this means you will not answer legitimate questions about your previous posts. I really don't get your point about pro drivers, etc and would like to hear what you have to say since I am, I guess, one of your want to be racers.

Scott is a typical troll. He makes disparaging remarks without any justification and then he doesn't have the ***** to back those remarks up with any facts or opinions.
I doubt he even owns a Porsche, maybe his daddy lets him drive his though.

Hey EJ,
Saw your vid. Nice track and nice driving (hopefully someday I can get there), which track is it?
BTW.LOL, That wasn't an M3 that finally let you pass was it?

The two full laps videos are from VIR. It was an M5. I know the driver (a BMWCCA racer) and we had fun together. That video made the rounds about 18 months ago with the BMW camp very upset that my lowly 272 hp stock 993 could beat the 4?? hp M5. They werent very happy to learn my car is totally stock with tires only. Some even accused me of having a turbo motor. It was pretty funny.

Fantastic video! I could not help but feel green with envy!! It seemed that the M5 would carry less speed than the 993 in the corners and it had some torque and HP to pull away at the exit.
What tires did you use? Were you on 18's?
