Needs a full transmission flush and tcu update as well as an electrical connector replaced that's under a seat where the sunroof likes to drain when the normal strains are plugged


And you wondered why we tried to talk you out of the jag?

How do you like your Cup?

For me the first paved part of the 2010 run with the NA Cup is positively orgasmic.

Evening Y'all
I was packing up the car for the trip to Seahawks tonight and in order to be copliant with Md. law I removed all the ammo from the cases that the guns are in. (it's a grey area there) and stuffed it all in my range bag.
I found a pistol in my bag that I forgot I even had. I might just have a problem. Doubt I will be signing up for G.A anytime soon though. :D

Its really not that bad, this is the first major issue I've had in 55k miles.....

They've got jag track instructors doing an instructional weekend next weekend for free......for 10 customers....as long as the jag is up and running, should be, I'm there! Roebling road here I come!

That is a fun track. Lots of sweeping curves, a straight, more long sweeping curves, repeat.

Jim Richards 07-26-2013 03:54 PM

Never made it down to that track. Any elevation change to it?

HHI944 07-26-2013 04:41 PM

Yeah, it is a nice track I've had a few bikes there and the 944 back when I had it

No real elevation change.

Should be fun in the jag, that bastard is actually quite nimble thank s to adaptive air suspension

It is mostly flat but there are a few modest rises slight downhills. The main thing I remember is it is mostly 3rd & 4th gear curves. It is fun to floor it through a curve in 4th gear.

HHI944 07-26-2013 04:59 PM

The straight is about 3/4mile.... the rest is gentle sweeping curves

nynor 07-26-2013 05:13 PM

are those pikes peak GT3's using automatic transmissions? looking at the shifter throws, it seemed that they just move straight forward and back.....

porsche4life 07-26-2013 05:18 PM

The cup cars have sequential shifters.

nynor 07-26-2013 05:22 PM

is that like an automatic transmission, but the driver tells it when to shift?

porsche4life 07-26-2013 05:25 PM

No... It's a manual... Think like a motorcycle gear box.

porsche4life 07-26-2013 05:27 PM

Sequential manual transmission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Flieger 07-26-2013 05:32 PM

And they are different (lighter and stronger) than PDK (dual clutch) boxes as well.

HHI944 07-26-2013 05:37 PM

An XFRS passed me earlier.......I think I messed my pants when I heard the exhaust note

Flieger 07-26-2013 06:02 PM

My view on V8s (crossplane like a 'Murican V8) is that they are awesome when there are only 2 booming V8s in the race, like ALMS. But when the whole field is 90 degree crank V8s I get annoyed. I couldn't stand a car that made that sound.

I'll take a field of only flat-6's, only inline-6's, or only 12 cylinder engines any day.
