i agree, rad is coasting quite a lot.
maybe he doesn't show his FLATOUT videos to bait everybody into bets? hahaha
anyway, he will always be tifosi, even if he goes over to the camp of blighty.

Ok...here is a nice calming video of me driving through the Sebring country side in the Carrera GTS on R888's. This should bore Rad to sleep for a while. LOL

Wow Rad, the inquisition is on! Here is the dyno sheet, I realize that this will only fuel your curiosity, but it is what it is, there are no other dynos, and the car was doing all that it is capable of. Dynorun.002 was my baseline with a borrowed exhaust that was free flowing but droned terribly. .003 and.004 were the runs for the car as she sits today.

Try not to blow a gasket, sometimes the sum of a car extends beyond cold engineering.....

On the video below I'm running on Pirelli DH tires. Our exit speed out of T16 is similar.

Look at my video at the 8:00 minutes mark

Now look at yours at the 11:30 minutes mark

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPJuzz5nt3M

I exit T16 1 mph faster and go flat from there, you exit 1 mph slower and end up 2 mph faster (my 149 mph vs. your 151 mph).

If I add 200 lbs to my fiat, and slower shifting, I would not reach more than 146mph, and my car is making up to 466whp, from a 4.3 V8 with a little more torque.

That's it, I'm filing a protest and request for tear down to the DE Cup board of governors. My Playstation simulator says your car is running over 500whp, but I don't have the v2.0 simulator that includes calculations for re-gearing.

By the way, great driving around Sebring, so relaxed and still bullying Izzone, love the video name too.

Plus the notable braking in the middle of Bishops. Times would have been a lot slower w/o the full World Challenge spec Pirelli slicks.

But yeah, I give him props for driving the crap out of that tin can...

Randy parking on my bumper in typical bully fashion.


Me desperately trying to stay in the hunt...


A number of laps later, getting smoked by gavin and falling further back

Yes, the car really does not get upset over the bumps either.

Yes using Exe-tec. Nice for Sebring in particular.

thank you - I have the same setup, but the car hasn't seen the track yet. Good to hear positive notes from someone else with same susp.
