R-comps are like cheating out there. One thing is for sure, I don't want to follow you once the tires warm up

Not cheating. Evening the field. I am only running 205s. You would prob run up my bumper anyways.

 

[k757]

With warm r-comps, I'll stay back from you as you'll likely be kicking up all sorts of dust/debris

the wrx can easily overpower the dragon, esp with the stock suspension & brakes, id probably have more fun with Rich's car over my overweight turbo beast.

Wasn't is Donohue that said "It will never have enough power unless I can spin the wheels at the end of the straightaway in top gear" ?

I think that's a good motto for the dragon :p

It is more enjoyable in the BMW, especially since the RPMs are a lot lower in 3rd. I don't know about this year, because the 4.10s will change that. I didnt have to shift at all the last time. I just left it in 3rd and enjoyed the drive.

Did that in the vette too.

 

[k757]

I won't say that I banged off the rev limiter in 2nd in the WRX as that would mean I was going about 70 mph... and that would be illegal
