Sport Cups? you're kidding right?

I ran MPSC at my last Homestead time trials, the car was borderline dangerous, on/off grip on the infield with close encounters to lose control, and horrible feeling on the banking. I ran a set of worn out A6 that I'm experimenting to run until they cord (17 HC on them), and the A6 gave me 4 secs faster lap times, in just a short track.

I can't get the Fiat back to stock HP, it would require to remove the headers, and the headers are a safety feature. These Capristo headers require a flash to eliminate a CEL (Check Engine Light), if I run the stock tune and get a CEL, the car enters limp mode (another safety feature). Since Todd Zuccone's magic EvoMSit update, the CEL is no longer shown, and the car is free of limp mode.

Thanks Eddie, Mike at AWD and EvoMS for giving me a free of CEL car.

NASA just changed the configuration at the Homestead event the same weekend, and they are going to run the Grand-Am course, I already ran it last month and it wasn't exciting, plus I doubt I can get free tires next weekend as registration numbers are low.

So, if you run R6, I will bring my sticky slicks or A6. If you run street tires, I run street tires.

Izzone and Eddie are still too slow for me, and the rest are moving chicanes.
With the GT3 I always run R6. When I bring RS down in the fall I will run RA1 with the rest of the gang. So yes, I will have R6 on next weekend at PBOC Sebring SuperSolo. Rad, bring your Fiat, it always nice to see you at the track for an hour or two.

Fiat on dyno back in 2009, 428 whp.

In Florida the numbers have been between 397 and 466.

The reason i walk from aero beetles are:

1. You guys setup your cars for understeer, and you suck at corner exit (except erik and grady).

2. Currently, i dont carry a 400 lbs downforce wing

3. You guys love running skinny rear tires.

4. My fiat is over 200 lbs lighter, before we add driver.

I'm strictly buying an Aerovault, but i'm hunting for an used one, as the $27k price tag is a little high, cayenne will keep doing the towing.

Hoosiers it is, fine , i will bring my old a6 and mid life slicks to the Slow Solo.

Perhaps that was your driving or more likely your set up. Sport Cups aren't the very fastest R comps out there, but they are pretty damned good when used properly. Hell, one of my clients to day at Watkins Glen, in a well set up 993, on a 52 degree blustery day, was on PSC's. After a good warm up lap they were right on the money.

You need to pay better attention, son.
