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
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. Last edited by FTS; 04-23-2011 at 08:29 PM. Reason: Inserted the link for Pete's 3RS Project |

Re: GT2RS Track Pics and Video
Enjoyed the video! You make it look easy to drive. Glad you're enjoying it properly
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. |

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 know exactly what you mean. I need to learn how to left foot break. I've just started doing it on the street and will try to do everyday until it's 2nd nature.

Re: GT2RS Track Pics and Video
You don't have too! The throttle response in your car is awesome! It was the ride I took with you and Ryan that showed me the weak spots for a turbo. The most vivid example was the top of the roller coaster (14a-15) and T4 at VIR.
I am told you can apply moderate throttle with moderate braking......but I haven't tried it yet. Anyone doing it? Is this true? |

Re: GT2RS Track Pics and Video
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

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