Nice. Are we going all out on this one? H/C/I and a 9L stroker.


Pick your poison.

Maybe... Not sure yet. Trying to stay in TT1 if I can. If it already kicks me to TTU, then yes, I will go all out.

Lol learn to drive it first, it'll take a looong time before you could utilize any power bump in that car

We'll see how it goes. It'll brake/corner better than my ACR. Hoping I don't miss the top end speed.

Have you previously driven a full race car with sequential and slicks yet? It's going to be a world of different, adding power won't really make you faster, just add to the expensive wearables. It'll take a lot of laps and coaching to get near that cars limit as is. If it was a street car it would make sense to add some power

I've driven several Boss 302S'. I get it, BUT having a car fast on the straights makes up where I lack in ability haha Definitely an easy crutch to fall on.

For instance, this weekend, I was running against a new ZR1, he would put buses on me going down the front straight, and then over the next 1.9 miles I would catch him..only to be left again in the dust haha

I've been running Michelin slicks on my car.

Oh I understand that.. spending over a year in a spec Miata getting freight trained down the straights only to catch up by the end of the next corner. I personally chose to learn the actual skill intended on a dedicated track car. I see zero point in adding horsepower to overcome the personal shortfalls in a vehicle with no vin # :)

JMO.
