Great video.
I guess youve decided to keep your car?

It's a gopro suction cup mount and it's supposed to hold up to 200.
It's worked really well.

Amazing, got to get myself one of those gopro cameras with a suction cup for the next trip to a track

[Mr. 5]

Thanks again guys,

You mean the M5.

Pressure being relieved. That's the sound of a full catless exhaust and the mic was right by the exhaust tip.

No. It's just that nobody has offered me anything worth me selling.

[zachar3]

Haha. i guess that makes sense. Are the wheels in good shape?

LOL, I completely missed that too, even though you said it in your first reply. It was obviously faster than the RX8 looking at the video, but I actually thought it was a 530 the way you overtook him..

Imagine the look on his face Probably even more fun than the bewildered Audi S6 owner I overtook doing 170+ mph on the autobahn on my way back from the Nurburgring. Those moments are precious

Your next goal is to hit 159-160ish before entering turn 1 then we are talking fast...

@Mr.5: Cool video! Must've been loads of fun driving there. Real tracks are so much more fun than the 1/4 mile, at least in my book.

You should really pay the Nürburgring a visit, maybe rent a car for some laps. I'm sure you'd have a blast.

Yes, the Nürburgring (Nordschleife) is a very fast circuit where you never drive slower than 60/70 km/h. You therefore don't need second gear, it will only give you traction problems due to the high torque output. The only place where you are into 2nd gear is when you start a lap.

Mr. 5 you are a badass behind the wheel, friggen awesome video. Damn I would love to put my car on tha track It looks like a total blast!

[chumley]

Great vid! Thanks for sharing it.

Are you using the GoPro cam or just the mount? Didn't think the GoPro had remote mic capability.

Normal scuffing with normal usage.

Nah, my next goal is to make it less than the 2:00 mark, but I think that the tires are holding me back. I don't have the downforce or the tires to make it to 160 before turn 1. I think Berk is making 155 before turn 1 and they have a car that is set up for that.

If I do Euro delivery then I will for sure.

You should. It's a great time!

I'm using both. I opened up the gopro and tapped into the mic to add an external mic. I started a thread on it so you can search for it on here.
The sound is soo much better.

[Slops]

Love it, great vid thanks for sharing... your car sounds awesome!

Well, I think I may have been slightly below that a couple of times when I came into the corner a little too fast, but then again you know the track much better than I do.... I should probably do like enrita and book you for some training lessons when I go back in the fall

Mr.5 it looks like you modified the hood with some intakes, how's that helping out with AIT and/or other temps while tracking?

[cotmfk]

Cool vid, thanks for sharing!

You have to. I'd be delighted to meet you and drive a few laps with you.

Let me know when you're there and I'm sure we can arrange something!

It's not the tires as we ran below the 2:00 mark with stree tires and no aero our first time competing in Redline Time Attack in a street car. With aero you will not hit 160 on the front straights as the added drag will keep you from it, we found out after adding a wing. However, you will carry more speed through Nascar turn 1 with aero.

Looks like a lot of fun!

[star1]

sweet.

I'd love to see your definition of street tires and we.

we = J Tyler driving ?

So now you're comparing me with J Tyler? I'll take it.

I was just saying that I could have done it with better tires. That's all.
I'm sure other things as well like better driving skills and more balls but I'm completely fine with where I am with my daily driver.

[Overboost]

Maybe its just me but I think if you used a bit more of the course diameter on some the corners your entry speed can be a bit higher and you'll exit a bit faster too.

[Mr. 5]

I agree with you.
On a side note, I'm going to make a video with different camera angles.

We as in HP Autowerks, Inc.

Street tires as any DOT tire with tread wear 140 or higher.

I am only saying your car making a lot more power than we were should hit much higher top speed at the end of the straights.
