Aventador vs. 370z
 
well not really. I followed him for a couple of laps and got to listen to that marvelous 700hp V12.

Nice driving!

SmoothZ 06-09-2013 05:33 PM

What kind of camera setup were you using?

Ubetit 06-09-2013 05:38 PM

Yep, nice driving.

Magic Bus 06-09-2013 05:40 PM

Impressive!

Z_ealot 06-09-2013 05:40 PM

that was freaking awesome, kinda funny that the vette driver gave up the ghost and let you pass but that lambo was awesome sounding

EndyKwon 06-09-2013 06:26 PM

Is it fair to say that it's all about the driver and a little bit about the car? Nice driving, I would have thought that the Aventador would have overlapped you plenty of times, I'm pretty amazed.

ltullos 06-09-2013 07:02 PM

Very nice driving! MSR big track?

Tigger 06-09-2013 07:19 PM

Very impressive. Only chance he had to pull on you was in the straightaways. Good stuff. Kind of re-ignites my passion for tracking my 370.

I started tracking this year. My pops started tracking about 4-5 years ago, we both grew up around MIS. I mainly do Willow Springs, he does VIR. When he started tracking, he told me it's 80-90% driver and I didn't really believe him. Now I know it's true.

Sorry DR, I couldn't help but submit it to my favorite Automotive/Racing news website... Jalopnik. :)

IF you want, you can email patrick@jalopnik.com and give him more details, they love adding stuff to stories like this.

DR_ 06-10-2013 02:23 PM

Thanks for submitting it. I'll try to add more detail in an email.

Nice job chasin' down the Lambo...

If I got a pair of those racing gloves, would that help me drive like that :eekdance: ???

Actually, I would need about 10-pairs of those gloves and I would still be lapped by some Hondas :roflpuke2::roflpuke2:.

Dude, it has nothing to do with the gloves...

It's the shoes...

Finally got around to watching this vid since I couldn't from my work computer. I got chills. That's crazy how people can track a lambo like its nothing. Great driving bro! I appreciate having a Z even more after this vid.

Infamous 06-11-2013 10:01 PM

Great driving! I wish to someday track my z and be able to drive like that.

Z-Girl 12 06-15-2013 09:04 PM
