They don't make slicks in 20" for the MP4 just yet, and aftermarket wheels are currently one-off projects.
Your car in Micheline Pilot Super Sports must be awesome, and we get to practice for OLOA 2013. The MrSideways (Ian) ran a 2:18 on street tires at Sebring in the Summer, so you can still break track record.

Rad, thanks for posting a video of me at Winterfest (see lap 2 of Rad's Winterfest video in post #517, I am in the black GT3 (non-RS) coming out of pits with cold Hooisers) - I guess the tires were warmed up enough by the time I dusted you in Bishops. lol
But your Fiat sure handles well on the back straight. lololololol

My Fiat needs to brake before Bishop. If no braking done, the car would enter Bishop Bend at 125 mph (real speed) and with no rear traction (car has 10 lbs of lift at that speed, my car even more due to wider tires), you'll bury the Fiat in the wall on entrance, guaranteed.
The 3.8RS gets to the same point 12-13mph slower, much slower speed and massive downforce rather than lift, yes you can keep it floored.
But I could be wrong, so take a F430 and enter Bishop Bend at 125mph (gps speed), if you do it, I will bring the good Absinthe or single malt to celebrate your survival.

If you take all of his posts together, there would simply be no room for a second place finisher.... Which of course would be Randy.... or the Greek..... or DDog..... Need a larger podium now that I start to think about it.....

Since fiat is less HP than aero beetle whey do you carry so much more speed at the entrance?

My brakes are working quite well now, there were not at Winterfest, this is why my Fiat wanted to t-bone your AeroBeetle at track entrance.

Fiat has to be driven to believe it, this is why I lose to my GT3 RS at the bowl on Cal Speedway, and I lose to the winged cars at the Homestead Grand-Am bowl, and pretty much any high speed turn.
The F430 Challenge with the FIA-GT3 wing goes by Bishop flat-out, I have the tech specs on that wing, and makes the 4.0RS downforce numbers look small.

on that lap, I hit the pot hole on the outside of bishop (look at g and speed compared to other laps), slowed down waiting for a flat tire, broken control arm or bend wheel, nothing happened, back to normal pace, went by you and Grady like sitting ducks, despite all the space I gave up at Bishop. You guys are slow.
