Edit: realized you were talking about the lotus. Did you not fit in the 911?

Also, I definitely don't fit in any Lotus and understand the frustration, cool car though especially in cup form.

But the sensation of the M3 with the V8, DCT and seating position is phenomenal for taller drivers. Granted my 911S was an 05. I will be toying at the next 991S but I am still not bored with the M3 yet. It's that good of a vehicle (for me). A very precise instrument I enjoy in ruthless DC streets and incredibly well balanced on the track. Am 6'4" too. This was the new toy which I thought I'd enjoy but it was more paranoia than fun. Excellent on the track but nonsense everywhere else. Again M3 shone in (much easier to live with). Money no object, I love the dct m3 with exhaust mod (stock it's numb) http://www.daniyal-syed.com/mclaren650s Cup car was for cage/safety as my conscience is biting me a lot. Intend to ship a gt4 m3 now that they are less competitive in Europe. Lutfy |

How does Speed ventures format compare to speed district? I liked SD format because it was split into three different groups with 20 minutes each. Does SV do something similar?

M3 Number 86 had a bad day I think. Typically all of the SD events I've attended were not jam packed with people, so gridding by lap time was simply not necessary. Also, in the intermediate groups, they are mostly aware of you if you do creep on them so you will get a point by. I will say that the download meetings that SV has are nice - you can dime people out if they're not following the rules or they're being stupid, something you have to do on your own with SD. I like both groups now. I have had isolated bad experiences with both groups, but it wasn't a big deal. I had to deal with the Fast and Furious once at Buttonwillow with SD that I got sorted out by talking to the event organizers, and I had conga line traffic once with SV which made it totally unfun, but they were both isolated incidents.

I totally forgot to go to the download sessions at Laguna seca... Nobody seemed to notice, but my etiquette is good, so probably not too much shit talking.

i've heard the worst stuff about extreme speed... i won't even consider going to one of their events.
there were a few integras/civics/rsx's at laguna seca. they had decent etiquette, but i hated being around them because their cars absolutely stunk and were unnecessarily loud. slow too, but i can share.

XS wasn't bad the one time I ran with them, but the guy that runs the org is kinda a creeper. He was all over the Time Attack girls and kept driving around in his golf cart trying to pressure people into buying track packs...

Couple of my favorite pics from Laguna. Not super impressed, lots of blurry photos. What do you want for free, I guess.

Spoke with Lotus Motorsport and they suggested mounting seat straight to the floor. Tried that (put on the floor without bolting and not using any side mounts or such) and head is 45mm still higher. If we raise the thought bolster (tilting the seat), then it works but then knee rubs on the wheel. Life is a paradox. |
