On the TRACK at Charlotte Superspeedway is fun. I had one hour of track time total. After a fun infield you get up on the banking carefully, 2 tires on the passenger side, then two tires on the drivers side, and run it thru 3rd to redline, 4th redline and then 5th and stand on it. The next curve is a long way off but approaching fast. The track looks like is is one lane wide and I really did not look at the speedo but I do know I was well into the 5,000 RPM range in 5th. The engine is SCREAMING and the wind noise is loud. Then the instructor says whatever you do, don't hit the brakes as you are staring at a large curve. I will admit I lifted off the throttle, made the back curve, stand on the brakes drop to 70 and hit the infield again.

IT was a blast and I did pass a real factory GT2 on track that day. (OK, the owners wife was driving it at the time but the fact remains I passed a GT2!)
