Since I'm actually very impressed you knew what that was Maniac......just for you:
(BTW, it was one of my favs there too....that car is just sick, period. You should've heard it....it was bad ass!!!)
Man dude seriously. I see atleast two a week since I work in buckhead.Since I'm actually very impressed you knew what that was Maniac......just for you:
(BTW, it was one of my favs there too....that car is just sick, period. You should've heard it....it was bad ass!!!
And that car always makes me say 'damn.' But with a 130k price tag. I need to start saving up right now if I ever wanna own one.
Cool pics btw.
The guy was flogging that one all day long. It was sick fast. He actually posted one of the fastest times of the day. That car was beautiful. There were lots of beautiful cars there, don't get me wrong, but it was nice seeing a Luxo car out there just wailing on it and keeping up. It was pimp.
Now go look at the next to last pic I posted and tell me if you see something out of place.......
Assuming you're talking about the burgundy'ish colored car - Rx7 with ls1 swap?Now go look at the next to last pic I posted and tell me if you see something out of place.......
Final set for now:
is that a m,iata or Rx7 ? if its a miata nice v6 ?

It's actually an LS1 out of a Camaro.....
looks like a lot of fun! I wish I could have made it out & possibly ran a few laps!
A black series....
Wish I would have signed up so I could run him down hehehe

In what?
I seriously doubt that to be true, he was an awesome driver.
Learning everyday.
I am not MS but I can in my lowly e36 stick with a C5 Z06 from Turn 10a back to Turn 7 at Road Atlanta. Back straight he would easily lose me though.

that miata was def. sick and fast as shit.

Wasn't it though?! He was a cool guy too.
The cool thing was that there was an LS1 Miata, an LS1 Rx7, the Black Series, M5's, a ton of M3's, turbo S2000, turbo Civics and Integras, the Exige, 350's, Cobras, a boat load of Vettes, bunch of Mini Coopers, Sti's, EvoX.....I mean they literally had a little bit of just about everything. Some really fast cars there. The only thing missing was a Lex bubble.......
I hated it for that one guy in the Mini that didn't even make it to turn 1!!!!! He flew into the trees before even getting there. I felt bad for him. Cold slicks on a cold ass day will bite you though....
E36 M3
I was half joking. If he was a good driver it would have been fun.

I haven't seen you drive, but you would probably need more than that to run down that Black Series. Seriously, there were a ton of fast M3's and they couldn't run him down. It was uber fast, seriously.E36 M3

Then again Baller won in stockish STI, and the Exige and a pair of 350z's were within a sec or so right there with the Black Series too. Hey, anything could happen I guess. I was just impressed the guy would beat the crap out of it, lap after lap, and then just park it and relax. That's what I liked about that car. It sounded awesome when he stomped on it too, although there were lots of nice sounding cars there too. Some of the Vettes and Cobras sounded awesome too. I'm just a sucker for deep sounding cars though.....

I think it would have been a fun time to play cat and mouse with it. Have to make an event next year
Thanks for the pixters!

It was pretty cool seeing some cars that at first glace you'd think couldn't hold a candle to another car, only to watch it reel them in and even pass them. Definetly a driver's game. Car setup also was up there, but you could definetly tell who was driving their cars too.
I just hated it that I was only a spectator and not out there boiling brake and tranny fluid......
I was running 1:10's in a stripped 325 on bilsteins?H&R's, RA1's, and software. With an extra 30-40 horse to the wheels in an M3 I'm sure a second or 2 off that is possible with a more experienced driver.I haven't seen you drive, but you would probably need more than that to run down that Black Series.

The green 325 with the M3 motor was running 1:08's I believe.
thats why he pulled on the straights. haha
I was into the 1:08's. but those koni tires suck ass. haha. i also need a tune...TRM?
I may be wrong, but I didn't hear them announce an M3 as being in the 1:08's. I heard them say the Exige, the Benz, the 350z's, and the STI were all in that range. I timed several of them myself, and although very unscientific at all, they were all right there hovering around the 1:10 mark before their last balls out runs. I knew they'd get down below that on that last run for sure. Remember that the Benz and the STI turned their times on STREET tires and interiors. They weren't some stripped down race cars with all kinds of special goodies. They were just fast street cars. Gotta respect that.
To be honest and not meaning any disrespect to anyone, but we can all speculate what some car/suspension/power combo will possibly run....but until you get someone behind the wheel, in traffic, and on a COLD ASS DAY....it's all guessing.
I give props to all the guys that came out on a COLD ASS DAY to thrash their cars for a good cause. People ran off the track, wrecked into the trees, and even blew stuff up on their cars. Everyone still had a smile on their face and enjoyed themselves. That's what it should be about IMO.
I know that I could've probably turned a lap or two faster than some of those guys out there, but in all honesty......I DIDN'T and that's really the bottomline. So no need to down play what these guys were doing. They did their thing for a good cause and that's admirable, even if they turned 1:05 or 15:05.

Reps given. However, i'm not speculating anything, nor would the red 325is or Halston, as we have times from just about every track in the south via stopwatch, data logger or a hot lap.I may be wrong, but I didn't hear them announce an M3 as being in the 1:08's.

You are not correct though as McCoy clocked 1:08's and thats a 2600lb car with stocks/springs ONLY and 200hp!
I have a hot lap and I ran several 1:08's last time I went. I ran 1:09's on street pads, on a stop watch. My car is 3200lbs + driver, shocks and springs and street tires only and it has 250whp. My car also has 140,000 miles on it.
There's not long enough straights for the black series to really take advantage of it's power and the Sti had a strong advantage because the car had 10" wide wheels and the driver was disgustingly talented.
You are underestimating what was the best handling car in American when it was out. That is, the E36 M3 and it's damn good chassis. The car was released in 1992 and the car is still Nationally Competitive in SCCA Autocross and club racing.. Matter of fact the only car raced more than an E36 these days seem to be Miata's (IIRC hearing that correctly). Go to a club race a look around if you don't believe me. IP, ITR, JP, Spec E36, etc. etc. are just a few groups that only allow E36's or where the E36 shines. Also,with brand new built Evo's and Sti's filling up the autocrossing lot, E36's are still cotendors to win on a national level.
Don't believe me, then i'd love to extend the invite to a weeked with my family and friends at a real track this spring so you can see for yourself.
Don't think Halston is B.s'ing. His car is lighter and handles better than my little 1:08 DD M3 hah.
Matt fill me in, are E36's still reigning in some classes over Sti's, Evo's, 350z's nationally this year?

I know. It was def. a wide range of cars. I posted a pic of the mini in my thread. He went into the trees on his 1st lap. I was like wtf.
Mainstream Performance
He was overdoing it trying to scrub in his tires, he did it to himself. There certainly were a lot of nice cars out there. I was weird hearing the miata run with some of the vettes and not being able to tell which exhaust was from which car. lol
Ryan Reynolds
"So long and thanks for all the fish"
Ohhhh, so that's how he slid off like that???? I was wondering what caused it. I saw it the tail end of it just before he hit the tree. I thought he'd just slammed on the brakes too hard or something.
It really was cool to hear some of those cars wailing on the back straight and then you're thinking to yourself, "What was that????". A blind person would've been 0-100 guessing what the car was.....
The miata was so quite you couldn't even hear it unless it was alone. Fast little car none the less
One Big Ass Mistake America
Good seeing you Jamie, nice pix.
♥
You too girl.
Hey....I found your alternator bolt......one of the wild cows running across the track got it!!!!!

BWHAHA. Well I got 2 new ones, JUST in case one of the other decides to back itself out. Some lock-tite should work... BUT we will see. Shit pissed me off the whole way home. I am so OCD, any squeek or any sound from the car that isnt supposed to be there drives me nuts. haha Ill be up first thing in the AM to rotate the tires/swap everything over and fix belts/alt. crap. BLAH
Nice, Mercedes > all.
