That sucks! And we don’t get their OEM adjustable suspension either. Yup… I’ll be keeping mine. Plenty of slop I can clean up on my lap times as is and make sure everything is buttoned down on my adjustable parts. Eventually adding a Wagner manifold w/ MHD tune would be nice…. Why I bought this...
497 HP… Wow!!! The MHD stage 2 claims up to 470 HP. Add a catless dp, wagner manifold and the whopping 3 HP gain from the top of the line cold air intake ? & might even get to those 470 numbers or beyond. That’s a lot of gain!
Well done ? and to each his own. I’m lucky my neighbor two houses down has two heavily modified corvettes. Wife got jealous he and his wife were louder. That was until my AWE track exhaust. My immediate neighbor sandwiched in between works with both of us at the same hospital. He’s got loud...
That actually looks like a decent upgrade worth the money. Wonder how many are coming to the US, available with the ZF, need or able to add camber and what the markup would be. At MSRP, would be tempting….
That’s one helluva friend or she’s one helluva friend with benefits to be letting her use his car as a test mule on track. Glad you both were okay ?
Are y’all getting a seat with 5 or 6 point harness? Love the hazlenut color btw. Before removing mine, I had to use a knee pad for the track to brace myself and not bruise too badly.
True! He is quite passionate when in the heat of the moment. Again, I was surprised to hear them play Alex’s really pissy radio messages this past race. That short video above about DTS address some of that. Shows how the media likes to play some drivers radio calls more often when in bad light...
We did a few things to avoid hitting the sway bar. Since the suspension geometry changes from being lowered, alters tie rod angles and reduces clearance. I got adjustable tie rods, 10mm spacers and increased the ride height. All of those helped in my case.
I still haven’t tweaked the settings yet. That would probably make the biggest difference in town, on comfort mode. Regardless, she doesn’t bog down so low anymore and my gas mileage change is negligible. Probably saves as much as the dreaded start stop function. All these things are overkill...
Maybe this one is different but… is it possible to burn up the cat? That’s what happened to all my prior cars and other people who track regularly. The light will start to come on. The more track days you do, you eventually burn it out. I’ve only tracked regularly in Florida and used to track...
Good points! He ain’t emotionally perfect on track, that’s for sure, lol. Omitting the tire choice, let him keep his position was my biggest thought and concern. When you’ve been fighting that hard (all the guys) and that much happens so quickly, let it be. Alex was loosing his shit as well. All...
Totally agree. There was a lot of red mist accumulating there.
Max should have been mad at the team for not letting him stay out there on his already warmed up soft tires. That was such a slap in the face after he (and the team) worked so hard to stay up there fighting for possible 2nd position...
My take ?
The 3 stop was a decent strategy until the yellow flag. That ruined everything for Red Bull. Pitting for hards was obvious suicide. I was telling my wife it is going to be awful to watch. On cue, when the race resumed, seeing Max was like watching a wounded animal trying to fight...
93 O and will do Colonel ?
You’re right my Map6 is a street/drag tune, since I didn’t specify at the time or thought it mattered ??‍♂️. The JB4 was a gift in exchange for my OEM downpipe - when I 1st bought the car and my catless dp. I always cook the cats ? (on my previous cars), so to speak...
Hey pal! Jim VanderVilet (spelling?) runs our region. Great guy. Send him an email and he’ll get back with ya. It’s on the NASA site and signup page. Also, the wife & I have a ton of helmets. Your noggin can’t be much bigger than mine (& surly no smaller than hers) & they are all Snell 2015 or...
Well said! Though I wouldn’t mind Max running away with it and watching the rest below fight it out for 2nd ?. Should be a good race today regardless. You and Elaine will have a blast no doubt! The fight between Lando & Oscar should be good. And who knows… maybe Max can give em another sneaky...
