    No joke. This is a GT3 rsr.

    This is my competition in my time attack class, I can maintaing the same corner speeds (even with my tiny 185mm streetish tires), but the gt3 pulls me on the straights. It's not drastic, but it adds up. I may not be able to beat this car with tweak, because that is not a street Porsche (by any stretch of the imagination) and those tires were made with no tread, but... if I can give this guy a run for his money I'll be happy. Then I'm coming back with a Festiva that has no mercy. Blood for Blood. By the way, with all my calculations, double checked by another engineer, a Festiva should be able to do 200mph with 400hp.
    Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

      Such a Porsche can manage 1.2g+ cornerspeeds. Impressive that you can hold up with the porscha.

      LOL! 200mph in a Festy. I sh.. in my pants at those speeds, sitting on garden chairs like that in my pride.

        here is some footage of tweak dicing it up with some Stuttgart street machines. The silver 997 is a twin turbo and it's also on proxes r888 tires, and it's not stock.

        If I could rev longer and pull just a little harder it would really improve my out speed out of the curves and my top end speed in straights. Right now I usually enter corners a gear too high because it's better to lug a little than to run into the limiter or have to shift in between tight corners. If I had another 2K rpm I could be a gear lower and be in the meat of the torque right out of the corner. It would make a huge difference. Plus, with my hoosier slicks on I will probably be in the meat of the torque in the gear I'm in now in corners. That will drastically improve my lap times.

                Watching!

                I bet you could build a heck of a nice B3T Charlie! Or would the tinier harmonics result in a horrific standing wave that would destroy the world like the Mayans predicted?

                It could happen! It's science!!!!
