GT2RS Track Pics and Video
Trying to get used to driving a turbo car is a challenge. Lag is short, but it is there and does take a second or two to ramp up from sleepy 3.6 to Lighty Beast :-)( It took me until the last laps, of the last session, on the second day to post my best times. So 1. there is a learning curve and 2. The boy is capable of learning lol :p
All stock except for the MovIt ceramic replacement rotors (another thread) which were excellent. Oh, and a BK harness bar with Schroth GT3 specific belts. OE MPSC tires running 32-33 PSI hot. Rear bar full stiff, front bar 1 from full stiff. Tightened both on second day to try and tighten the whole platform as much as possible as I find it to be under dampened and under sprung when pressed hard. If a case could be made for more track duty I would put the same Intrax system on it I have on my 3RS (detailed in other post). But for a street legal production car it was relatively neutral and benign handling out of the box. Fun times, enjoy! Photos thanks to Dito Milian/GotBlueMilkphotography.com. As always awesome shots from the lensmaster. http://www.gt2gt3cup.org/picture.php...&pictureid=238 http://www.gt2gt3cup.org/picture.php...&pictureid=237 http://www.gt2gt3cup.org/picture.php...&pictureid=236 http://www.gt2gt3cup.org/picture.php...&pictureid=235 http://www.gt2gt3cup.org/picture.php...&pictureid=234 |

Enjoyed the video! You make it look easy to drive. Glad you're enjoying it properly :D
I am looking forward to your MovIt review. Bite, modulation, fade, etc.... I just switched from ceramics to steel. Initial bite seems slightly less but pedal feel during modulation is much improved. |

Thanks for sharing!
That Mustang certainly disappeared from view quickly... :D |
Re: GT2RS Track Pics and Video
I love the tag, but... with so many people use the word "benign" for the 911, GT3, GT2 and GT2 RS now, that may be you need to change it now.
Awesome shots. Are your calipers changing color, getting darker, or it shows that way behind black wheels? What are the spring rates on the 3RS Pete? |

No color change on calipers, must be how the photo was taken. |

I am told you can apply moderate throttle with moderate braking......but I haven't tried it yet. Anyone doing it? Is this true? |

lol, well at least from Porsche. Let me do some digging and see what I can find out. Here are the pics of the springs, perhaps a reader can decipher? http://www.gt2gt3cup.org/picture.php...&pictureid=255 http://www.gt2gt3cup.org/picture.php...&pictureid=254 |

Probably some sphincter tightening action as Mr. Miata knew I was on his butt coming over this hill. Looks like both feet in to me and a wise choice :-)))

Re: GT2RS Track Pics and Video
looks like you are having a blast out there with the car in its natural habitat...any plans on modifications?
|
Re: GT2RS Track Pics and Video
Congrats on having a great car in the best of the colors they offered on the GT2.

Here's one of my favorite Miata clips. I know the driver and he doesn't mind me sharing the clip. |
