I think Loren just said his runs stink? It rained here at 7pm like David said it would. Yea David's App.Loren wrote:I'll have some video from my runs later. First, a shower.
On the positive side it reaffirmed how much fun the Mirage is to drive, I just have to work on implementing the push harder, suck less philosophy. We all know the car has the pace for a class win - great job Loren!
For some reason that video looks speed up. Or maybe you're just that fast!BigBlue wrote:I'll do what I can to keep pushing the bar a bit higher.Rawkkrawler wrote:Almost felt bad that I’d possibly get an easy 1st in MO this season, thanks Ron and Dan for setting the new bar.
The course was a blast and as always, it was a great day spent with some awesome people. See you all in a couple weeks.
Here is a shaky video of my fastest run. I was really wide on the turnaround, which I am sure cost me some time.

I'm not sure exactly how much time that cost me, but I'm absolutely certain it was more than the 0.021 that Joe beat me by.

Ron your camera must have a "fast-mo" setting instead of a slo-mo. It was very entertaining When I started driving like "normal Philip" on that course with no brakes, until each end, it really flowed. His car is probably down on power due to age and use is all. Some folks don't have a dedicated xcross car. The difference between a C5 and a C6 is evolutionary rather than revolutionary. The chassis is nearly exactly the same and they are similar enough that the suspension parts are actually interchangeable. The biggest performance advantage my car would have over Joe's is the wider rear track and tires, but that wider rear track has both benefit and detriment in an autocross situation and comes at a cost of almost 200 lbs more mass. Beyond that I have a engine with a bit more displacement/torque/horsepower (almost completely negated by the extra mass), a better shifting transmission and a nicer interior. If you have any doubts about how a C5 Z06 stacks up against C6 in an autocross just have a look at nationals results and look at AS where the cars are combined and compete against each other. Short answer, the C5Z is the winner the past couple years even against C6Zs which are both lighter and more powerful than my GS.twistedwankel wrote:Joe is all ready giving you about a decade of Bowling Green advanced technologylddavis91 wrote:New car definitely doesn't suck, but I guess I'm gonna have to do some minimal stock class prep to beat the old guy...
). It did bring back a bit of understeer in turn-around situations, but we'll be able to drive around that next time... Overall, just better. 
So never bring a great track car to an autocross? Note that Joe was running with only one DRL working.lddavis91 wrote:Short answer, the C5Z is the winner the past couple years even against C6Zs which are both lighter and more powerful than my GS.
