The best part of these videos is the exhaust note!

No kidding! That exhaust sounds fantastic! What do you have installed?

FLA997

DACH X Pipes...with custom mufflers (basically straight pipes, no baffling thru the mufflers).

Cool Videos.. The Exhaust sounds sweet.

For some reason when I put my camera in my car I get alot of wind noise which disrupts the engine note. Did you have your mic placed somewhere else in the car?

How fast were you going on the straights there?

FLA997

Dave-

I think my exhaust is so loud that it sounds over the wind, quite frankly. Its not very evident in the youtube viewing, but when I watch it at home I hear plenty of wind noise.

As for the speed on the straights and banking, I couldn't get my "personal pucker point" to allow more than 155...that turn 1 into the infield comes quick, and after boiling the brakes the first time I knew I didnt want to cook it any faster approaching T-1. About that time, I wish I had the RS Brake upgrade...which is probably next on the list.

The list is endless, isn't it!!

What pads do you run?

FLA997

PAGID Yellows Front, Blacks Rear.

Very cool videos! What a track that is! Good work with the F-car

Nice job, Rob! Your car sounds great. I can't recall: is there a proven increase in horsepower with no loss of torque with your set-up?

Is there a reason the Mustang driver kept on missing the apex to T3? Overdriving or some other track nuance?

FLA997

Mark-

Probably not...I think most of the performance increase in my set-up is from weight loss alone...at least I couldn't feel a performance increase from the exhaust...but it sounds way cool. :-)

It's the driver that needs work!

The Mustang driver was just, well.....NOT happy at all about letting me by in the infield. We must have done that same routine for 4-5 laps. I think he was just over-cooking it in to T-3 and trying to hold on for dear life because he knew that was the spot I could get him...but once we got on the banking he took off like I was standing still...lol! Same story with the Ferrari....It was all in fun, though.

Ya, good videos, and some good driving too. I am really sorry i missed that opportunity to drive Daytona, maybe next time. I am signing up for a DE at Moroso (Palm Beach) on Jan 06, and i hope you will make it. I want to hear your beast in person - I am running X-pipe and SuperCups, so similar sounds from inside, I'd like to see/hear your first hand. Here's mine, just in case you're interested - YUMMY!!

What was the requirement to participate in the Audi Club event. I want to do a DE at Daytona...some day...Is there a PCA event other then the club race.

pretty sure car must pass a race tech. full cage, belts, seat, and fire bottle.
Maybe even a kill sw and window net... ?

that was fun to watch, great video

-it looks like they filled in the apexes at the bus stop since I was there, they use to get some deep ruts coming out to Nascar T3....
