Someone drives more enthusiastically when there's another car in sight.

Cool vids.

kleech, it starts at 0, but the big numbers start at 5. Just past striaght up is 8000RPM

BlackRX7, it's probably a leaf or piece of rubber or something, you get a lot of stuff flying around in the car sometimes.

Kristopher, hehe

Jacob, I'll see what I can do Monday about redoing one into mpg

Just one question, why no rear sway bar? Is it to let the rear dip down and let the tire get more weight? Sorry, i may just be a complete idiot. haha.

Yo,


Paulie, always a pleasure watching your videos. I've only driven Laguna Seca in my GTUs on a parade lap during Winter Wonder Wankeland II. That, of course, didn't prevent me from trying to drift out of turn 2...*grin*

I have driven the track multiple times in my Scirocco. My biggest gripe is...when the hell did they re-do the berms?! Holy ****, they'll tear the underside of your car out now. They used to be all smooth...and now they're like shark's teeth! I think it's like an FIA regulation or something...but /damn/ they're nasty. I couldn't believe it when I hit them coming down the corkscrew...ouch.

Have you dyno'ed your car? I was wondering where you got the 160RWHP figure from. I only put down 140...so...give me your secrets!! *grin*

Keep up the good work and show 'em what an NA FC can do!

Kevin,

No, no dyno yet, but that's just a guess.. We'll see soon

Yeah, the berms are more like dragon's teeth than a curb.. In a few vids I hit the berms and it's haaarsh. Especially the corkscrew, I think they're trying to keep people from going over there for Zanardi style passes Sears is much nicer in that regard

Roy,

No rear bar because with the heavier spring rates, the rear bar is overkill and you end up with a bit too much oversteer.. This way the car is just on the under side of neutral... I'll probably go with a bigger front bar, stock rear bar next and see how that combination works.. It's all a matter of tweaking until you find the best combo, and what works for a race car isn't always what you want in a street car.

Yo,



Heh, I knew it! Ya pulled that number straight outta...the air. Yeah, the air. *grin*

Cool man, let us know when you dyno it. Is your car street legal? You need to come up so we can do some video on the twisties.

I'm sure your car is street legal. Look! It has a California plate on it...from a 1981 Scirocco. *wink*
