Those were nice laps! I would have liked to take a ride with you - let's try that next time.

Grr, I haven't gotten back to the vids yet. I just need to suck it up, edit them, and upload 'em already.

I did sort through some data. It looks like my best on the RS3s over the cyclone was 2:09.3. I wish we had another session before they closed the cyclone, as I was just starting to get a good feel for the tires at T-hill.

Once they closed the cyclone and we ran the bypass, my best time was 2:03.8. Since I waffled on getting you the $ for the GoPro, I only have vids from when we ran the bypass, but they are still pretty good.

I could have put my RaceLogic in your car to take some G-data; maybe even let me do a few laps to see what all that extra whp you have can do with your RS3s! What do you have for springs and shocks?

tokico D spec
SPC camber kit/toe bolt
hotchkis sway bars
SPL PRO endlinks

Cool! I like driving OPP! Depending on how good the brakes are, I bet it can break 2:10 with the bypass. Probably upper 2:teens with the cyclone.

OPP?

brakes go as
RBF600 fluid
carbotech XP10/8 pads
stoptech SS lines
stoptech slotted rotors

so the brakes are pretty decent

You could have ran a sub 2:10 with the bypass in your Z with some more crafting and a change of tires.

My times at thill had started to tapper off like a logarithmic graph before I sold the Z. Each time I went I was still nipping away at the clock, but not as much as before. I think I've got the lines, but Im still too conservative on the shifts and entry speeds.

But I agree, with a bit more practice (and some more aggression), I could shed a few more seconds off. Too bad I have to start all over on the new car.
