PCA TT Motorsport Ranch - Sun 10/14/12

1:11.08 in the RX-8 on corded Toyo R888s. Was hoping for a 1:09.xx in the S2000 this weekend.

The S2K is 2 seconds faster than the RX-8 on R comps?

[OZMDD]

I'd hope the S2K is faster than an RX8 on low-budget suspension and worn-out tires, R-comp or no. The stook is lighter, more power and TQ, and on quality suspension.

At the last Apex I did, I was faster than a good driver in an Exige because his tired R-comps couldn't hold 1G, while I was getting 1.2G from RS3's.

Or because he wasn't willing to push his car as hard for fear of an off that would require replacing a body panel(s) worth as much as an entire NC. The Lotus isn't very forgiving if you mess up on track.

I took my Elise off-road all the time. Made a great all-terrain plow with its solid body panels.

As long as it didn't rain.

R888s aren't any faster than RS-3s in my experience, and I've got a nearly new set of RS-3s, versus ~40 track sessions on that set of R888s when I set that time.

As for the rest, what Mike said. Published torque and HP is basically a wash between an AP1 and an RX-8, but we both know that an AP1 typically dynos 10-20 HP higher than an RX-8 in the real world. Plus it's ~200 pounds lighter. The S2k should be able to reach higher peak speeds in the acceleration sections.

And really, a high 1:09 is only a little over a second faster than 1:11.08.

Name a place and time. Sit at a table and wait for a douche in a Lotus to show up and lie to you.

I'll keep an eye out for the ice cream man as well

I'm still bitter about the 2007 AX season.
