I agree with Kenji that there seems to be a lot less NSXs at track events than S2Ks. Exclude the hardcore NSX/S2K track junkies and their cars that are not or barely streetlegal, there still seems to be not as many as you would expect. I am talking about the West Coast mostly. I don't know the...

Rotors Hi Angie, I am not sure where you got your alcon rotors but if you want to try something other than coleman, I know that Baer Racing has been using DBA rotors (from Australia) on their Alcon brake systems. I don't know how they compare because I have not used them. I do know they are...

Coleman Rotors To those that used Coleman Rotors, what type were you using, 1 piece or with an alum hat, how many vanes, directional or not, and were they the heavy duty ones ? I was using Alcon rotors and the quality of the metallurgy was great and they would last 3 times longer than factory...

We need a couple of instructors for our novie group on Oct. 12 at Thunderhill. You will get free track time in exchange for your services. Email me if you are interested. [email protected]

On paper the V6's with the most torque come from GM. I can't say if those engines are good enough to tow. I personally use a Quad Cab Dakota with the 5.9 V8 and have towed with an open trailer up down the West Coast even through Mt. Shasta and the Siskiyous. People have told me that the longer...

T1 is a fast left hander so what the SCCA school does is to put a bunch of cones at the end of the straight of the straightaway in a chicane like path that forces you to slow down and do a left right flick before entering T1. They do something similar to T7. I don't think this is a bad idea for...

For those interested in a Thunderhill track event with cooler weather - There are a few slots left on Oct. 12 Saturday. There will be 2 advanced groups with a total of 6 sessions of 25 minutes each. There will only be 1 novice group. They will be limiting participation to only 50 cars to ensure...

The NSX is a lot easier to drive because it is much faster to get used to it so most people who have never owned one or the other would prefer the NSX after a first time drive. The S2000 is the same way which is actually a testament to good design. The Viper is much more difficult to get used to...

Randall, Some additional comments re: the NSX and the Viper. You indicated that you miss tire smoking power which is obviously why you were looking at the torque monster - Viper. I am not sure if there are other characteristics that you may value butthey probably figure in what kind of sports...

Good job with the 1.34 and keeping up with the high hp cars !!! You will love the R compounds when you try them especially after driving on street tires. And then it'll be more fun hunting for Vipers and Corvettes !! Stephen

Edo, nice driving with the NSX on your street tires. Did you get to compare lap times with the white Z06 ? If you get the chance you should try the Norcal tracks. Thunderhill is the nearest but probably around 7 hours from Portland ( going avg. 85mph ) It took me 12 hours to get home. I would...

Hey no big deal. I wasn't at the Green Flag event but sounds like a bunch of vipers were. If you passed them fair and square then you have the right to talk about it. Not all viper owners know how to drive them. Until I solve the 90 db problem I will not be able to return to Laguna and I will...

When and what was this event at Laguna Seca? I can't discern the number (looks like a 4) on the side but if the viper had a wing, it would've looked very familiar. It's too bad the pictures are not clear. My car is too noisy for Laguna and got black flagged there 3 times. By the way, since you...
