It might be the RE-11, but I still can't see how it can get me 4mph down the straights.

Plus with all the talks about track times, 99% of the owners don't go anywhere close to one.....

either this or everypost i see from you makes you the best racing driver ever. Is this really Sebastian Vettel come to grace our lowly Z board??

J/k kidding man

you could be coming off faster on the last corner to the straight so that would give you a higher top speed at the end of the straight. You would be coming off the last corner faster because of the tires having more grip.

And the C&D guys are just writers who like cars. I dont think they were using racing drivers to run the cars at VIR so you can have an idea of what an average enthusiast driver would be able to do. This is probably why they couldnt get a decent time out of the Mosler that one year.
