TiJean 1:38 on first visit? Awesome! Jezuz... when I ran 1:53 in February (TD tires on their 2nd day, no aero), the speedo showed ~155 at T1 on a very windy day. Probably could reach 160 on a calm cool day.

His time is nuts. I managed 1:55:1 on rs3 (no power mods) my speedo got right below 160 so I'm sure you will hit 160+ on the TD's without wind easily on a cool day (noting that the speedo always read high. Feel like mine reads 7-8mph plus when going around turn 8 at WSIR)

Yeah, S/C plus TD plus aero plus 3-way KW! But, even then, all those things must've clicked.
mCorsa & Kaiv, who've both run 1:53 at ACS on R-S3, re-iterated the need to get out of that last turn as fast as possible to build up speed on the front straightaway, and it worked out for me (I had run 1:56 prior to that). But yeah, with TD's, it should be faster.

As for Laguna Seca, what a bunch of BS with that 90db limit and yes most of the 2014 track days will have the low 90db limit (and they'll keep lowering it too in the future is my guess). A stock 997 GT3 will do about a 93-95db so most guys have to plug the exhaust by-pass value so the side mufflers don't close above 4,000rpm (this is how the side mufflers get fried and crack) so they can pass the 93db limit days. At 90db there is no 997 GT3 that will pass sound even with angled pipes. Why don't they just go ahead and outlaw all gas powered cars and only allow electric cars and get it over with? Hell, the only car I'll ever be able to take up there for their 90db track day is my electric Prius. |

It's still a very intimidating corner at speed.

Have any pics of your car? How much whp are you putting down? I think you could be flat through Turn 1. I think that was the straightaway speed. I'm sure he dropped 40-50mph through T1 and T2. FWIW stock cars dont go much faster than 155mph through the apex of 1-2. We were about that speed too (155) in the NSX. Quote:

So, he isn't (I just google'd). I blame a CA at Long Beach BMW for that mis-info.

@ Billyj747----these are slo mo times compared to the stuff you guys do--hahaha--but I'm out there having fun regardless! Guys like Cody are tearing it up out there. I'm happy with my 1:57 at BW 13CW for now. My M3, according to the dyno at EAS, has about 550whp, on 100 octane and track pipes. Here are a few pics. The corkscrew was from this weekend. Ti-Jean's GT3 is right behind me. The sideshot is from Buttonwillow. And I included a current street setup pic. The car is still totally streetable----I put street pads into the AP calipers, dial back the JRZ and put street wheels back on. No one has any clue what the car really is. Flat through Turn 1 at Laguna-----hehe, i think that would require more balls than what I bring to the track! My GPS says I was doing 125mph going over that hill on some laps as it is.....is it possible at that speed for the front wheel to catch air at the crest? I felt at least once like the front wheel lifted......that was an-----interesting moment....hahaha Are you going to be in the SoCal area doing time attack stuff soon? If so, which events? |

^You're still doing CTSCC race-pace lap times in a 4door street car. Very impressive. I think there's a 36-37 in there
I will be at the ExtremeSpeed event at BW in the NSX to on the 7-8th. |
