What was the silver car that passed the Z28 on the straight near the end of the tape?

Yeah, it was a STI, real fast car (yes)

 

[jaje]

is your car stock?

 

[SDMSP]

is your car stock?

I have Injen CAI, Apex catless DP, Greddy SP2 and Electronic boost controller but I was running stock boost. The suspension is all stock except I got -2 deg camber all around and 0 toe front and back. I was running Kumho Victoracers 225/50/16 on 16x7 Rota Slipstreams.

hmmm...that's interesting as z28 drivers think they are superior no matter how well tuned a fwd car is

i also run 16 x 7 slips with 45mm offset on stock suspension (no alignment changes except for street driving)

and can i say that is one rough track...i swear i saw railroad tracks you had to go over!

Exiting turn 4 the asphalt was broken off and very uneven pave changes and even with recessed pavements, I brought it up to the track guys and hopfully they fix it. I'm not sure if you're familiar with Streets of Willow but this is where Car and Driver magazine do there testing. It is a tight and technical track and a Z28 has no chance agains a MSP as that driver found out (glare)

he didn't seem to even pull on you in the long straights, where he "should" have, you sure it was a z28?

yeah it was a Z28 with the LT1 engine, if it was a V6 I would have no problem passing it on the straights.

Any rubbing with the Victoracers? Eventually I might get some for my slips. Nice video, looks like you were tearing it up!

I have the Slips with 45 offset so I had no rubbing in front but in rear even with -2 deg camber, there was still rubbing so I had to roll the fenders and that did the job.
And thanks for the complement, this video is of the first section of the day, I actually got faster as the day went, I went from running 1:39's to 1:34's per lap, I know I still could be faster, can't wait for the next track event

Nice. How much did you have to roll the fenders? With 0 camber in the back would you be able to run those tires even with rolling fenders? Do those tires throw the speedo off at all? My friend just got victo's for his bmw, man those things are crazy!

I had to roll them about 5mm and with 0 camber it will rub, with this size tires your speedometer will run 1% slower than the stock wheels.

Oh well, eventually i'll find a way to make it work, doesn't matter for a while though, I've got a brand new set of azenis to autox through. thanks for the info.
