He's a really cool guy too. I ran a 430 for a few years. He let me sit in the 458 last year with the Recaro's. I did NOT want to get out. Shame that he looped it. At least he's out there enjoying the car!

On the summit circuit:
The 458 looped. An instructor in an e36 m3 ran of the track in the first lap of green in the first session Monday on turn 8 or 9. I was hitting 115/116 mph on the main straight. That was fast enough for me. My instructor took me out in his z4m and was doing 140/145 mph on the main straight.

I can't wait to see your car either! Last time I saw it the intake was just being put back on and I saw the brakes.

^^ you guys realize we were driving with instructors in the car, right?
all of the technique advice is great, but when im following jeff into a wet, off-camber corner at the same speed and with teh same turn-in and i get an excess of oversteer and he doesnt, clearly the v12s aren't doing as well as the toyos for one reason or another. again, the v12s were fantastic in the dry and gave me no surprises - the wet handling seemed disappointing relative to other brands in similar setups (i.e., jeff's 235 front, 265 rear toyos on the same car) - i just wondered if anyone else had a similar opinion regarding their wet handling.

His S4 was so slow in the inter/advanced group that he got tired of watching his rear view mirrors and pointing people by that he asked to be moved down to the beginner group so he could at least enjoy himself (less cars on the track)! I flew by him and quickly left him in the dust. MAJOR difference in speed. He had a lightly modified e46 330 before the S4. I'm pretty sure the S4 is slower than his old car. Yes Charles, you were right, S4's are slow on the track.

I won't be attending the meet tonight if people decide to go. Have some work to get caught up on and doesn't seem to be a turnout tonight. Maybe next week we can get something going. I will be in for any night in the future as long as the Flyers aren't playing.

Yeah there wasn't much interest for this week. I'll be out of the next four-five weeks. Looks like I'll be on the west coast for a bit for work.

A front BBK is a rather popular FIRST mod for those cars! They sure do have nice interiors though.

Thanks for asking about the leg. It is doing well. I was able to put weight on it just over three weeks ago (which i hadnt been able to do since January 17th).
I started driving again this past Saturday. Which is a huge relief. Especially when I wasnt able to enjoy my car for so long. I put some minor mods on during my time spent not driving (arkym quad diffuser, cyba black chrome quads, BMS intake, m3 lip and some debadging to clean up the rear). So it's nice to look at and sounds different with the intake. Just going to therapy a lot trying to get movement and flexibility back in my ankle and strength back in my leg. Hope to see you guys real soon. Hopefully some decent turnouts at KOP meets in the next few weeks. Sorry you can't make it CJ! |

Had to present at a symposium today... VU visitor parking lot... Mainliners apparently love AMGs There was an S55 that was gone before I could snap a pic. The CLS, awesome color.
