Re: Dec 6, 2014 - FAST Championship Event @ Brooksville
Is everyone as excited as I am to see Loren drive a car with over 400HP, but drive it like a Miata? I know I am excited so he can see how tough it is squeezing that beast through the tiny courses

I'm just hoping your car doesn't have any absurdly ill habits that are going to send me into the grass! I can handle power as long as THE CAR can handle the power.

Should be good! Car is tuned pretty well, and has a new set of tires. Turn of the "Nanny-Meter" (Traction and Advance-Trak) and you'll be killin it!

Doug, you know what I'm talking about. You've driven ill-handling cars that don't know what to do with the amount of power that they have. I know you have.
I've been pretty impressed with the new generation of Mustangs, though. They get around okay.

If you left-foot brake and right-foot brake, does it stop the car twice as fast?Loren wrote:I'm just hoping your car doesn't have any absurdly ill habits that are going to send me into the grass! I can handle power as long as THE CAR can handle the power.

Re: Dec 6, 2014 - FAST Championship Event @ Brooksville
I just remember watching Paul spin through the finish a few months ago for no apparent reason. But, I think he's done some suspension work since then, and I know he's put a good set of tires under it.

The new tires should help a lot. Ford has stuffed 662hp in this same chassis, the chassis can handle it just fine.Loren wrote:I just remember watching Paul spin through the finish a few months ago for no apparent reason.

The RS3s are finally broken in (They still had the molding compound on them at the last event
), and the suspension is dialed as far as I can tell. It should be a fun day for sure!

I spun because I didn't roll onto to the gas. The car has so much torque is broke loose when I stomped it coming out of that little turn towards the finish. This was also on old Summitomo tires though.Loren wrote:I just remember watching Paul spin through the finish a few months ago for no apparent reason.

It will likely be better than you think it will be Loren. Much better with the new tires. The old oem's were far more fun, though.
They would get that rear end wiggling like Ron Rice at a twerking contest.
