Car looks and sounds amazing! Congrats on the win!

Edit: I'm going to add this to the FD track video thread as well.

congrats, crazy sounding car!

Very Nice!

Nice! pretty hairy at 3:20 in... sounds awesome

Perhaps the lack of rear grip was caused by having no rear downforce on the car.

A rear wing would have helped, but it was mostly due to my corner entry speed and already being at the limit of tire adhesion when I applied the throttle. That and my line was slightly off, apexed to early. Most of the corners at PIR are late apex corners.

Thanks for the compliments, the car sounds awesome in person. :driving:

Whats the engine Spec of your lovely machine? Power man...give us some power figuers.

Very loud aye....you got that WG screeming away quite nicely.

that was nice and it sounds incredible.

aspec has the 550r now.

did you break anything from that?

Nope, car stills runs and drives like a champ. I over built this car so I can drive the wheels off this things and not worry about reliability.

Peace

what kind and size of tires are you running?

Bridgestone RE-01R

F 255/35 18
R 265/35 18

For some reason I am not getting sound at work.

The camera shake gives an impressive sense of speed!!!

And Paul is right, a little hairy around 3:20 for sure!!

wow I just saw this, looks too fun.

the car actually shakes the camera like that on full throttle.. dunno why- maybe exhaust reverberation? either way its hella fast. was hella fast :( (sorry adam)

Hard drive based camcorder, it can't cope with high frequency vibrations.

It's okay, it will be hella fast again in a few weeks/months. Actually I added 50 hp and 68 ft-lbs above that 400hp track tune, first and second gear are useless at WOT though. Need more tire.....

wow there were several spots i would have shit my pants, getting loose so close to teh concrete wall.. nice video!
