I feel my tires are limiting right now, I wouldn't feel comfortable pushing much harder than I was in my part 2 video and the last 1/3 of my part 3 video I am about to post on the street.

Nice vids Chris. That section going towards the 101 is one of my favorites. Smooth paved roads and fun corners bunched together.
The car felt a little to big for this section though. The smaller Z is a bit more agile and is a little more fun during this stretch. Just from browsing youtube vids, I think a camera mounted between the seats or a camera seat mount offers a nice vantage point while showing the speed somewhat accurately. Oh and what tires are you running? |

I want to try that perspective, I just wussed out this time and left it in that spot. I am running the Yoko Advan sports that come on the base wheels, 225 front 245 rear. I feel that even the 19" Rays and Bridgestones would offer much more grip, but I know I still have a lot to learn about the car's handling so it is not just the tires at their max; it is also me as a driver.
It is a really good feeling when the more you drive, the higher your limits are as a driver become.

Those tires rather comparable, so I wouldn't bother unless your tires are already going bald.
Might consider some RE-11s. Definitely more grip and I actually got similar treadwear as the bridgestones that come stock on the 19" rays. |

Let us know about Vegas track. I might sign up with EXTREMESPEEDTRACKEVENTS.COM. They are tracking at Willow Springs and the price seems to be pretty good.
