Arizona, Firebird West in-car Track Video, 4 Videos, in total so far, more to come.

[arz]

I did this all morning, only ran 3 out of 4 events. I over filled my oil and the BOV pumped it all over the engine compartment, so I sat the second session out. I didnt need to other than I made a mess of the engine compartment, but it was all good.

I have plenty of in-car video, I get more and more aggressive as the day progresses.

After the Firebird track event, I ran home got a shower and blasted down to Tucson and rode Supermoto at P1, I suck at Supermoto but it was still way more fun than work!!!! I will post those videos ASAP, but here are all of my sessions.

Hope the links work.
I got a little loose and did some drifting behind the ZO6 at one point.

I will post the Helmet cam video from P1 as soon as I get it.

I am having a problem making the links work, if they dont work try this page.

It appears that a right click and save from the links on this page work for me.

What kinda of power are u putting out in that car? Looks a bit slow or close to stock.... i was hoping to see your real beast eat that Z06 up

 

[arz]

Yea its totally stock, except for a 3 inch exhaust, and a type R BOV, a shimmed wastegate and a few more PSI.

Oh and my 6 piston 13's in front and the 12.9's in the rear.

If you watch all the videos, you can see I dont have any problem hanging with anyone in the corners.

 

[bountykilla0118]

Yea u look like a pretty damn good driver ....... no suspension mods? How would you Z-car do against that Z06?

THANKS!!! But that few seconds behind the ZO6 I let my adrenalin get the best of me, and was a little less than smooth with the wheel. But thanks for the compliment.

Yea, completely stock suspension, just brakes, tires, wheels and a little more than stock boost. IT SURE WAS FUN!!!!

The Z would KILL that ZO6, at least as hard as he was driving it. I might take that next time.

 

[bountykilla0118]

I wanna see more of your Z car!! The video against the black ferarri or lambo was sick! I almost wanted to ditch my MkIII for a MkII or a Z and swap a 7mgte. My friend has a MkII with a 7m N/A motor and its pretty damn quick for what it is ..... Home made filter adapter and 2.5 in exhaust.

I must say that the Z06 didnt really pull away from you as hard as I would I have thought after watching the video again, considering those things make like 500+bhp or so and ur are prabably at 250-270rwhp at 10psi (+/-) on the stock setup.

Thats what I thought, I would have guessed it would have pulled harder on me than it did. But it sure is painful knowing if I was in my other car I could trounce that ZO6 no problem.

Yeah I love how the car hangs with the Z06 so well in the corners. Couldn't hear to well though. Wind was blowing right in the mic.

Nice driving.

Very nice, A+. Wanted to take my MKIII to the track b 4 she was gone, but missed the chance.

Thanks, I would assume sway bars and some struts and springs other than stock would make a big difference.

You would def. hurt his feelings then.

Looks good Andy! haha watching the way your car was handling almost makes me want to put power steering back in my supra

 

[Facime]

That looks like a lot of fun. What does it cost at firebird for a day of track time like that?

I would never consider running without it. Hell if you rode in my slower car you would have never taken your A/C out either.

These are early morning events, so they cost a bit less than normal. The first event is more expensive because they pay to have an instructor in your car for the whole day to make sure you know how to drive and dont wad someone elses car up. The first event was $140 and every short event after is/was $99, we got four 15 minute sessions. I think the fall, winter, and spring events will be more because they will be for whole days and you will get more than double that in track time.
