Sly & I had a great time in the Advance DE at Zone 2 Rumble at the Oaktree this weekend. Sly passed a lot of cars driving the black GT3 all weekend as her car is in the shop with transmission issues. I was testing the white RS on RA1's until they corded. After that I put on a set of RMag's old R6's and had some fun with a red corvette on Sunday (trying to post the incar video soon).

I did a tire test over 3 days at VIR. First session of each day was 80 degrees, by end of day 96 degrees.
First two days I ran RA1 (shaved) rears until they corded. The fronts were new unshaved NT01's. I purposely did not rotate/flip the tires as I wanted to see how long they would last. I found out -- 12hc and done.
Then I slapped on Rmag's used R6's for day 3. I did not change any settings on the car when switching tires. FWIW - car is stock shocks/springs, full soft front stock bar, rear stock bar moved one hole softer from stock. Rear is lowered. Camber is 1.75rear, 2.75front. Don't know what toe is.
I found that the RA1's with less than 10hc are 3 seconds slower than R6's with more than 16hc. 2:03 vs 2:06. Didn't like that part. lol
The car still felt good. The differences I could feel were (RA1 vs R6)
* did not turn in as well
* nose slid more throughout the turns
* could not put the power down as soon on exit

The Advanced DE during the club race weekend had the typical variety of cars/drovers. There were a few Cup cars that used the DE runs for added practice. I had fun chasing a 997 Cup car on Sunday morning (me on R6's) that could only pull away from me on the straights with his quick ration gears. I was laughing a what redass I was giving him in the turns staying on his bumper (street GT3RS vs Cup Car). lol Of course this was when I did my best lap of the weekend at a 2:03. I was pissed that I didn't have the gopro on. I later added the gopro after run #2 on Sunday when I hooked up with Rob (great guy) from L.I., NY in his red corvette. For my last session of the day I used the go pro following the red corvette. I think our best was a 2:04 (traffic) Here it is:

I thought I recognized you guys from somewhere. I should have formally introduced myself. I stopped by to ask you about your toyos and nitto pressures. Well after 30+ cycles my NT01s went bust--actually just flat on the back straight. Only later did I discover that a shark took a bite out of my tire. I should have rotated my rear wheels after the first day. Interestingly enough on the morning of the 3rd day my coolant hose/fitting went bust as well. Only had one session with new R6s and your description above is perfect. I could never get that car to turn in correctly with the nittos especially entering the esses. Anyway, nice meeting you and Sly.

Great driving Clarke. NASA is going to run a Time Trials there in July, along with the 2012 Ultimate Track Car Challenge event.
I want to watch a video of Sly in the Black GT3 getting point-by from the boys, it must be fun.
Why 2 GT3? Sell the Black one and get a Scuderia, you will love it: no snap oversteer, deeper braking, shifting allows both hands on the steering wheel, and Z06 won't walk away from you.
