What kind of lap times do you think Charlie could do with Tweak at the Nurburgring? 13 miles... lots of turns...

I don't alway drive Festivas, but when I do, I drive them about the same pace as a Z06 vette with an experienced driver behind the wheel.
Just look up average Z06 vette lap times, that's about the most accurate guesstimate .On tighter courses I tend to be faster than most stock vettes.
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.
This thread wins, because it is about Charlie, LOL!

yeah on courses with multiple turns after turns i think you would wear them out, & after watching your youtube vids they can only pull away on those long straights where their hp gives them a slight edge. but after a few turns your already back on them!! man charley i hope you can make madness again this year b/c it wont be the same w/o ya:notworthy:
I took his advice and the rear flex does actually help. You just have to be one with your car. Cant wait for another southwest meet i need to do this. . Btw my brother just bought a 2004 zo6 but no track time

It's a MazdaFordnKia thing, and you will understand!
The next car Charlie builds should have the front half painted blue and the rear half painted red (Physics joke) :mrgreen:
Doppler! Where are you!

Unfortunately, I have gone back to school and can't attend madness this year I have some pretty sick tricks up my sleeve though for FM8
A SoCal meet is much overdue. Maybe the next one can be somewhere in between SD and LA, to attract more people.
