I'm back from the ring, and I couldnt personally make any videos from Florian's car sadly :( I was a passenger only on his first lap and the track was still damp in a lot of places and traction wasnt very good yet.

Hopefully they made a vid after I left, there were plenty of cameras :)

yeah that's Toni's car...technically its nearly a carbon copy of Florian's car. He has slightly different brakes I think and also a different exhaust...but the same weight reduction/19T with blitz/KW etc

He said they had a run with a 911 GT3 in 3rd gear and it didnt gain anything on them at all :lol:

it managed to stay with the gt3?  or didn't gain on the gt3?

toni's doesn't look quite as low as florian's setup..

it is. this is a left bend.

i did a race with my friends 2003 gt3 (381 bhp stock) with cargraphic exhaust, MANTHEY set up and cooler

i thought he would have been faster but at 20psi in third from around 80k to 150k i gained -honestly to my surprise- significantly on him (about 15 to 20 yards). i dont know what his revs were tho. maybe won by mere torque.

i talked to him afterwards (cos i was heading home from the ring adn wanted to say good-bye) and he was friendly as always, saying "hmm. oh yes. your car runs very nice." but he couldnt quite hide his disappointment. he was in a way very sad. and i really felt sorry for him. i mean, he has been working very hard for this car (110 tEUR is hella money) and then a almost ten year old volvo costing a fifth gets past him. i would have been sad. honestly.

ah..sweet... well, it would've been sad if u had a dog with a big wag looking back at him in the cargo hold while u passed him :D .. but hey, he shouldn't be too sad, gt3 is still a very sweet car...and there's always gonna be something faster...

oh..i've got a q for u.. i know ur car is so much lighter now, but how is the kw in putting the tires on the ground? does it hop around some on some bumpy road at wot or at wot during midcorner bumps?

hmm..maybe we should start a diff thread...hijack.gif hehe
