That might be doable

 

[Perro del Sol]

Great way to shake down the cars before Mid-Ohio, was our thinking....

 

[Lewis7789]

Exactly. Two two are so clever...

I really missing why a track cross is so different from a track day? really the main difference is there is just less time on the track correct?

How much is Trackcross?

I found out from Emilio at 949 Racing yesterday that he is having some issues with suppliers and it is looking like 3-5 weeks before I'll have them. So I'm not sure I'll be able to make the dyno day.

Meh...

Road & Track just put the 2015 STI on a dyno that has the same EJ series motor that I do: http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-reviews/car-comparison-tests/2015-subaru-wrx-vs-sti

But that's not cool. You need to flex your e-peen and whip it around in the HP dick slinging competition!

Seriously uncool.

I believe the track cross was $60. There should be a link on the first page of this thread.

So I dusted off the cobwebs this past Sunday at the Wilmington Airpark (which is an awesome venue, larger space than Toledo!).

Crazy fun course with an extremely long sweeper.

(If you pause the camera at 0:06 you can see that the first cone is outside of its box! I swear it wasn't me. )

 

[princess peach]

looks like a fun course, is that a BRZ\FRS?

 

[WillD]

Yes, it's my brother-in-law's BRZ. It's amazingly capable in bone stock form, I was pleasantly surprised.

NO! NEEDS BOOST AND 4000 ******* HORSEPOWER OR ITS s***!
I hate hearing that.

 

[Perro del Sol]

We have reached the 15 needed for Smokey's Dyno! I do not think they'll take walk ups, as I am trying to get 3 runs instead of 2! Hopefully, maybe we can get 5 more and take all 20 slots!

Meh, it's just noise.

 

[Evan9999]

Will, that course layout looked fun! Especially that long, fast right-hander towards the end.

LOL I agree, people need to chill out and enjoy the car for what it is. Just because it doesn't come with a crapload of HP from the factory, doesn't mean it's a slow car. 200hp in a light car like the BRZ is enough. Just think about it this way...The BRZ weighs about 2760lbs and comes with 200hp. A brand new MX-5 weighs about 2500lbs and only comes with 167hp. So why don't we constantly hear reviewers saying the MX-5 needs a million horsepower and it's s***??
