Going fast...

This is probably the first time I've got myself on video and it seemed fast. I don't know what is different.
Click save as
No more track days for me until I do something about the brakes.... 1000+ degrees is not good for them.

Well, it didn't seem all that fast last night... the other cars there were 4 race ready vipers, a race ready Evo MR and a full race prepped mustang.

Great video. It appears you are not going that fast, but in reality, you were flying, right?

95ish? Not bad for a 1/4 mile straight away with no umpfff.
Probably the slowest in that vid is 45.

Did you just use gears 2-4 and what tires were you running? I haven't lapped my civic yet but I am going to soon. Just want to know whether I should get some Azenis/Toyo's etc....I don't think running my V-700 tirse would last.

3rd and 4th for a very short while. I can actually run the whole track in third if I smack the rev limiter, so I shift 2/3 of the way down the back straight. I was running Azenis RT215s in the video, but I've also run Kumho MXs at the same track, no difference in speeds or times. V700s would probably survive for a little while, a couple days, but for a lot of tracking... look into RA1s or some high performance street tire. Make sure you got synthetic in the car, there isn't enough oil in the pan to keep the oil cool enough, you will break it down if you run it hard for an extended period.
