    The last time I was at Road Atlanta, I was not supercharged and I was running BFG KDW2s. I'm running Advan A048s now plus the s/c. I was also running topless. Now I'm running with the hard top. With the top off, I was hitting a wall around 120/125 due to drag long before 10A. So now I'm curious to see what the changes I have made will do. I should be able to exit turn 7 much faster, have less drag in the straight, and have more power. Can't wait til next year to find out.

    For me, RA is a bit ridiculous. When I drive, I'm going out in DE2 sessions in my Civic, with a little less then 100hp, stock suspension, stock-ish brakes, and street tires. Going into the braking zone at 10a, we were seeing speeds of maybe 95mph.

    So, with that in mind, I come off of 7 and see the twin black C6 Z06s behind and point them by. I honestly felt like I was sitting still when they roared past. I get just destroyed on the back straight at RA.

    No. Rob drives the Pink Panther in SpecE30. I'm sure that if Rob had the chance to get a little drifty in a Z06, he would.
