Default 350z vs AE86

My buddy put our two videos together. The lines we had were terrible but we were still some of the fastest cars there. There is so much room for improvement but we have been learning a lot by watching our videos.

You can see we are even, then he takes the lead and then loses it at the very end. I beat him by .2 of a second..... It was awesome.

Nice vid.

I wish I could get on a track that allows me to go that fast when auto-xing.

Yea, it was definitely faster than the last one I did. There are also Autox events at El Torro Airfield ( don't expect you to know where that is http://www.eltorofield.com/) which I hear you go even faster. I will be trying it out fairly soon.

Yea the hachi is quite the car. He has the S2K motor in it (f22c) and weighs so much less. If I remember correctly, he said it is in the neighborhood of 2200 lbs. Our power to weight ratio is roughly the same but I have bigger tires which allows me to carry the weight in the corners. The last Autox we did I got him by .3 seconds.
