Worn out R888's, I had 10 days on them, they rears were delaminating the last day.

You're not supposed to look at the bad driving in the video, just listen to the Sharky bypass music ;-)

Sorry!! I was getting a little scared when I saw the wall coming at me!!! Nothing better than a Sharky-bypass & a LWF combo to put a smile on your face.

Never mind the bad driving, you can't go fast on slow tire, but you can go fast in, slow out ;-)

WOW, you'd think you were driving on snow in that video. My heart stopped when you almost lost it in 17. I could not what the whole thing.

I should have parked it , but I was having to much fun !

I still got a 2:29 somewhere that day, that is the same I got the first time I took the car to the track in September, so I figure I got a little faster as the tires were sure slower.

This was with the first day in the car with the mike too loud (and just to show that I can also drive not sideways hehe...)

I like your driving suit. Much lighter than a Sparco or Stand 21

LOL, I wonder how it sounds if we take out the 2 side muflers also, would it just be the same but louder 9More of a very good thing) or would it change the sound? It would be 36lbs less I read somewhere..

Orbit removed my side mufflers and replaced with Cup Car pipe so easy to reverse. It has been like this for awhile but we are on the track at the same time. Nice sound, not too load and the advantage of a huge weight loss and removing the heat. The Oil runs cooler with them gone.

Boyd, maybe we should switch side mufflers?

My neighbors are much to happy I do not start the Mustang early in the morning anymore, we have to change that before they stop yelling at me for going fast at 20MPH, because loud = fast appearantly.

We'll meet at Orbit and go for lunch. They should have them switched out before we finish our burger.
I have been meaning to go by Orbit to check them out anyway.

Plus that 36lbs will start to make up for that huge weight above my head and in the driver's seat and I will be less "slow" compared to Rs-es:

I'm wondering the same thing. He's really not that good and quite slow
Some say slow, I say very careful gradually getting faster and faster in a safe and controlled way.
That is why I keep the nose of my GT3 always pointed in the right direction unlike the orange RS #666that seems to be real good at doing 360's....Especially going on to the front straight at Homestead.

I had an Aunt who used to say "If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all"
