Wow thought LSD would last longer on 4.0

And this goes back to an older thread. I believe our cars on R6's could do 2:15 with pro driver. ( cheater parts included )

TRAKCAR

I agree. If 2:17xx is possible on RA1's then 2:15xx or as Rad would say 2:16 is possible on R6 if all is fresh and perfect.

TRAKCAR

Hmm, you offer no cure no pay coaching for the stubern thick headed??

jp175

The RA1s are not that much slower than the R6s, and I drive RA1s. I don't care what the data and others say.

TRAKCAR

I can go faster on Hoosiers in their prime. I bet 2 seconds

Veloce Raptor

Hahahahaha! Uh, no.

As they said in Cool Hand Luke: some men you just can't reach

There is some truth to this, but IMO it depends on the track and the driving style.

TRAKCAR

It's the front grip that allows me a gear higher/better power out of the corner.
Plus 255 I think runs a bit wider ront. I wonder now that we are paying top dollar for fron RA1's we should run R6 front and RA1's rear. hmm, stiffer front bar..

Veloce Raptor

NO.

Way different sidewall stiffness which equates to effective spring rates. Way different warm up and break away curves.

Don't even consider it unless it is an emergency.

so to Rad, if F1 drivers do 1:38.95 and 1:38.98 then thats really 1:39...LOL

All u guys have more fun in de mode than most of us do racing.

Seriously get a race car and go race. You will have that much more fun. Faster. Safer.

And, I don't think a .2 RS can get to a 15 unless you have full slicks. Remember a 15 is a decent but not great lap time for a 6 cup. But what do I know.

Veloce Raptor

I do, but it would take perfect conditions & a really strong driver.

And a cage.

RSRRacer

Or maybe I just need to jump back into de.

Most of you based on your times would be top third of time sheet in a cup car.

Veloce Raptor

Well....as you know, a Cup on slicks, especially a 7 Cup, is a lot harder to drive at full potential than a GT3RS.

And there is also a BIG variation of talent between the top 20% of Cup drivers and everyone else...

RSRRacer

Well u have the data. I just remember how hard it was to get to a 15 in my first 6 cup. And with 6 more years experience I don't see how I could do that even today in my RS. Of course according to my 12 year old I am getting old and slow.
