veightkiller · 05-18-2009, 03:31 PM

FrenchBoy · 05-18-2009, 03:36 PM

Nice job! Can you remind me your pads and wheels/tires setup?

asaulo1 · 05-18-2009, 05:34 PM

damn.. that looked like a blast.... F car was definitely looking back seeing you creep up behind him

cheers

boostedtwin · 05-18-2009, 06:04 PM

You kept up pretty good with the F. Nice job.

NoM3ForMe · 05-18-2009, 06:18 PM

The color on that Scud is ...memorable.

Forgot to mention, nice video!

knifegun · 05-18-2009, 06:31 PM

Thanks all. I was running stock 18" wheels with stock breaks. I had EDC set on Comfort. It was a complete blast. In all fairness, the Ferrari was a full blown race car and hard to drive. I am sure in capable hands, he would have blown me away. I actually caught up to him earlier in the run and passed him. He stuck on my tail so I let him by and we essentially circled everybody else together. It was a complete blast.

I am putting some Dinan springs on my car that will hopefully help. The breaks were good but I could use a bit more bite power.

I hear you. That is what I need to work on next time I go in July. I was getting a bit excited keeping up with the Ferrari.

boostedtwin · 05-18-2009, 06:36 PM

Just curious as to why did you set EDC to "Comfort"?

R2M3 · 05-18-2009, 06:58 PM

Wondering this myself? I would think you would want the suspension tightened up?

Green///Hell · 05-18-2009, 08:25 PM

Normal and comfort are progressive settings for the EDC so it will constantly change the firmness according to current situation
The normal setting is the fastest, but I prefer the stiff as it feels more predictable

Very nice to see you hang with the Scudi. Just need to be more graceful with the cars steering and overall line. Looks like you were forcfully placing the car into the turns, But I believe I would get overly excited too if I were following that beast

Ha. Yes. I need to work on being smoother. I left the EDC setting on Comfort because I wanted to start off from the softest settings and then later see if the stiffer settings help or hurt. Now that I have a baseline, I plan on heading back to Thunderhill in July and try the different EDC settings.
