It's more fun to drive a slow car fast, then to drive a fast car slow. :driving:

yeah but driving a fast car fast makes you question why you go through the effort of keeping a woman in your life

As much fun as it is to drive my car fast, I don't mind driving it slow either because I know at anytime, it can be fast.

I've driven a few 800 hp plus monsters on the track. I could only use about half of what they offered. What's wild is when you see a spec Miata or a Elise not backing off for a corner and diving under a faster car that's on the brakes. :driving:

This is exactly why I didn't get married until I was 32. LOL

They operate at a higher temp than a street tire. On the street, they're not up to operating temp. The only way to get them to temp is to run the them hard. They're even worse in the wet. Street tire will tell you when they're about to let go. R Comps will hang and hang in there, then boom, they're gone. With little warning.
Agreed, jdtodd an I did not run with you guys that morning at ZDAYZ because it was raining. We went out later and I was still wet Josh was like you lead you are on the r888 and I am on r71. We had fun and I resisted the urge to go full throttle until I had heat in my my tires and I wouldn't break traction. So even with hot tires 70% was it at best. Plenty fast enough for the both of us with full suspension and aero.

^^^This, nothing worst than coming into slow turns either just passing or being held up and having a fast miata on your a$$. They will run you over because they don't lift, pretty much ever, lol!

Dude a R compound is not where you want to go. Yes they are extremely sticky but that’s sometime a detriment as there is no warning when they let loose. I would go with a higher end Bridgestone or Advan.

OK what do you guys suggest I go then, what high end bridgestone? Should I stick with my Pilot Super Sports and just go as wide as possible?

im 33 and still have no desire to get married although the missus is waiting for the ring. I told her it might take a while. I mean c'mon, I only just went TT, I haven't even built the engine yet. LOL

Mate - if you are interested, I will be at The Bend MotorSport Park with my race car for Round 4 of the SA State Championships on Oct 20 and 21, and should have a bit of time to jaw-bone your issues if you take the hour to sneak down the freeway to Tailum Bend.

Look for the bald old guy in Sports Cars #50. We'll be in one of the pit-lane garages, don't know which one yet.

Ok, with sebs latest tune I do not spin out anymore. Or it could also be the fact they fixed my EBC, it only goes to 8.5psi now, not 14 like before.

There’s got to be 100-150 ft-lbs difference between 8.5 and 14 lbs.
