Friendly chase with Viper at Buttonwillow 13CW
I headed to the track (Butonwillow) recently to dial in my KW Clubsport suspension. After the suspension was all dialed in, I had a good time chasing down a black Viper. As expected, he would pull away a couple car lengths coming out of a corner into the straights but I would catch right back to him on the corners. I felt like a Miata against this HP and Torque monster (my car is stock engine wise).
Hope you enjoy the chase... |

You've definitely logged some hours on that track! Great vid and great driving! Looks like he was actually holding you back and costing you corner speed....

I won't disagree with you on that. I didn't know I was going to track the car when I bought it and it is my DD so DCT is perfect But now I'm slowly starting to shop for a dedicated E36 M3 race car and one of the reason is that I want stick shift on track
For now, to spice things up a bit, I'm driving left foot braking exclusively. I never once touched the brake pedal with my right foot on the video above. Definitely was costing me corner speed but that's alright, he was fun to chase |

I had the same experience at Laguna. Guy in the viper refused to give me a point by. He'd pull away in the straights but I'd reel him back in through the corners. Gotta love big ego drivers.

Very nice, looks like you were giving the Viper a run for his money.
Looks like the datalogger froze up @ 4:58?

For "post-production", I use Dashware which allow me to overlay my datalogger data with my GoPro video. Quote:
Yes my cheap datalogger (Andrioid phone using Trackmaster app) keeps crashing more and more... now you know why I was talking to you about getting something more serious. |

4 days for a set. That sucks. I'm on my first set and was thinking I would get 8 to 10 but have been told you can't overwork them or they will be junk quick. That's why I was curious cuz looked like you were pushing into some turns.

As far as overworking them, apparently they're the fastest just before cording. Let me know if you get more than 4 days out of them, I'm curious on what others are getting. |

The NT01s are going to be great for about 4 days. You can probably use them for maybe 5-6 days if lucky, but they will def not be the same, and you'll notice. On a lighter car, story may be different.
