Default Short vid of JJB's TT at Willow Springs...

All right this is my first attempt at hosting a vid so bear with me. I edited this down to 2 minutes just to show him leaving me in the dust as he exits turn 9 and heads off into the horizon. I catch up to him in the turns as I'm about 700 lbs. lighter, but his acceleration is truly exhilarating to watch especially when you're behind him....

Completly. I come through 9 at about 5500 and then take it to 7200 in 5th before I shift. I can brake later than him so that's how I stay close! He's just that much faster. I could have gotten a better launch out of 9, but even when I laid back and came through stronger he still left me in a similar fashion. Remember I'm only 2550lbs. and 400 HP(+-).
The car looks brand new and almost stock!
