Man that looks like fun. Do you ever hear comments about your car out on the track?

I'm proud to say... yes.
and your ego get a real blast when you have corner workers or general public coming to congratulate you...

( in reality I'm even prouder when corvette and porsche owner come to check where are the snails... and they find out the engine is stock and I'm not running racing slicks or hoosiers... )

^ I've always heard that the best and most cost effective upgrade is always going to be the driver. Sounds like you're proving that to folks out there on the track.

well... reality is that it is... and I'm not even that good of a driver... I raced on simulators ( r-factor) with guys that race for living and I'm about 1.5 second slower than them per lap... that without risking any damage or injury... I know that I'm keeping some margin when I'm doing it for real...

I know my car can lap 1.57 easy at TWS as it is today, with the same tires.... and probably 1.56 in colder weather.... I simply can't.

the white GT3 considering the hoosiers should have been in the low 1.50... but the guy is learning well.... the yellow one.. I think had some engine problem because should have smoked me in the straight... I know the guy, he was ABSOLUTELY fast with a Z3M coupe... now I think he's barely faster with the Gt3... he's learning... and the car is obviously harder to drive close to the limit.

than, like in every other place, it's full of morons full of ****.... first few times I was there I heard some INCREDIBLE lap time done by some unexpected cars... than, over time, you get in the same run group or better and you'll discover that some people have REALLY optimistic lap timers and some are even so stupid to accelerate videos to cheat...


I'd like to say I'm lapping there in 1.55.... I'd love it...
but ain't gonna happen any time soon

Wow! Dude, This is a beast of a video and you're a beast driver too. How many years experience do you have at tracking your Nismo?

What's the specs on your front 17in rims? Did you go for 17's for a lighter front axle feel?

Hilarious. I wonder if the guys in the Porsche's think their investment was worth it? Just goes to show how much a driver can make a difference in a race.

Great driving. Really surprised at how slow that silver 370Z went.
