A co driver on my team was testing his "real" race 928 this weekend at Thunderhill so I figured I would bring out the Lemons racer to play with....I got a great deal on some R comps (BFG R1's) so I put those on to see the difference compared to the street tires we run.....
We were running in the Green (advanced open passing) group with the Norcal Shelby Club....lots and lots of super cool GT350's setup for racing around with all kinds of mustangs-american iron in general...even a bunch of vintage nascars that shook the ground when the passed you!!!
The car is MUCH FASTER on R comps...7 seconds a lap faster!! I was able to keep up or pass just about the entire field except for the Nascars....I even caught a VIPER ACR....yes thats right the 600hp $100k race spec Viper that runs a 7:22 around the ring....I didn't have enough time to pass him...but managed my best lap of the day while chasing him....
I can't express how much fun it was in the pits when guys would ask questions about the car....probably thinking its got a monster motor or something....just to tell them its a 26 year old bone stock 195whp automatic..... that cost $256!!!!!!!
