I had to have a driving instructor since I was new to the driving group. (I was already solo'd with another driving group) my instructor was a hard core air cooled Porsche 911 guy from the PCA. The only mods to my JCW (stock 205HP 2600 lbs) was a full Spax suspension (same as used in the John Cooper works Series in the UK) and some upgraded slotted rotors better pads and high temp fluid.
I wish I had a camera in my car but to be honest I was not expecting much from it being my usual track car is a 400RWHP 2500 lb. RX7, but I digress, I whooped that Corvette's ass... with a passenger..... cheering me on to "Go get him and teach him a lesson" (No latent 911 Vs. Corvette ill feelings here at all) In 1/2 a lap I was all over the Vettes ass, then as we went along he was sweating bullets as I was pushing him hard int he braking zones and turns. If it was nto for the point to pass rule in affect, I would have passed him easily I had so much more exit speed than he did it was not funny, I cannot count the amount of times I almost rear ended him and had to get on my BRAKES on the exit of a turn to keep from hitting his slow ass.
But I am sure Snipes 928 is SOOOOOO much faster than a lowly C-5 Vette on the track.  |
I'm sure you realize your car was not even remotely stock.
" The only mods to my JCW (stock 205HP 2600 lbs) was a full Spax suspension (same as used in the John Cooper works Series in the UK) and some upgraded slotted rotors better pads and high temp fluid. "
I mean SERIOUSLY dude. Put the same upgrades in the vette, and try again. (For all we know, the vette was merilly cruising around and was not even pushing his car hard)
And -again- this thread, and my comments, were about MINIS,
not mini-coopers.
(Not that mini coopers aren't equally ghey....they are.)
How's that reading comprehension working out for you big guy?
PS: My car is very competitive with C-5 vettes on the street. Then again, i really don't care what can beat me on the track, that carries very little importance to me, i'm far more concerned with it's look, sound, and fun factor. But hey, feel free to continue to measure your penis size by what other car you think you beat on the track with your full race suspension and race brakes when the other dude may not even have been trying very hard. LOL....
