Hey Colin,

Is that the RS conversion? (with I assume a R&P, LWF, bigger brakes, chip etc.). Just curious. When the time comes I think I will do that instead of going to C.

FF, do you have a vid of your lap?....maybe I missed the post.

My motor is good in some spots, but blows in others. You can see the lag in my car, as I am always getting pulled badly out of corners. But I typically make it up at the top end, so ti's probably a net wash. I also think that the one RSA was having issue shifting, as I should not have caught him like going into the hairpin.
OK, I need to look closer, only watched it once. Fun to watch lot of cars together and always interesting see different drivers' lines & driving styles.
I get your point about the lag. You can see it. Maybe you should talk to the guys who drove 917s & what they did, those things probably had 2 sec. turbo lag!

No, the red car is a prepared RSA that runs in C. You can see it spit flames out both tail pipes into Sunset .

I raced against a D class RSA at Road America. If he was in my draft, it was exactly the same speed as my car.

Oh, I thought that was just due to slower corner exit speed.
