Taking the solara to the track. Anyone else here do it?

by **Nutty101** » Sat Jun 25, 2005 1:20 am

After much talking and people pushing me to do it. I am going to take my solara down and race some friends who do it often. Everyone is betting I will loose on the straight's but more than easly catch up in the turns. I don't really know as I have never used a track only the streets of denver. So we shall see I guess. On the streets I manage to keep up to a degree but in turns I can easly push 20/30mph more than they can.

This turn I can push out around 135 without any sliding or anything.

Record on this one is just over 128. The turn that keeps going east at the bottom. Where the southbound comes into east bound.

I don't know what your set-up is, but judging from the other cars you put up, you will have a helluva time driving against them. Unless your friends can't drive of course :lol:

Yeah, be interesting. The only car that holds the turns as well as me is the 355. The others don't quite cut it. The s2000 I can beat easy off a line and over a good run. The NSX takes me after 40. The 355 I need a spyglass.

Nothing matches a Ferrari, especially not a puny Solara

you will get burn bad. take out your seats to reduce weight and pour in some racing fuel in the tank. if best, use some track tires...

good luck

Yeah, I almost never have the seats in anyways. Laugh. On a lighter note, when your drunk the metal in the back isnt to bad to sit on outside being cold.

Its gonna be real tough. You've got to have driving skills and a car like Takumi Fujiwara of Initial D to keep up with those guys. But I'm sure you're going to have fun. I look forward to taking "tabasco" autoXing this summer. Good luck and be safe.
