Question on the differential. When I transition from 10a to 10b at Road Atlanta, going up the hill, it feels almost like the clutch is slipping and the car bogs a little. Is that the differential not being able to keep up when hot?

Funny that you ask that. With my LSD on exit from 10b I feel I get a little quick sudden wheel hop from what seems like it's coming from both sides. I just finesse the throttle a litte to let it regain control. Most times it's not all that bad. Might be different from what your experiencing with the VLSD?

wow looks like you scraped the wall... but it doesnt look that bad. how did ti happen?

HKYStormFront · 06-06-2012, 07:14 PM

brian was letting a GT class driver pass on the inside of a curve, hit "the marbles" and slid into a tire wall. thought it was ok. turned the next left just fine... the following right hander didn't go so well.

Defintly think the Black RPF1 wheels look better than the old Silver Enkei setup.

You can see how hard Stout (driving Shaffer's #52 car) was pushing behind Brian. White tire smoke coming into the brake zone. I think they were having an issue with the ABS system early on, but got it sorted out later.

Nice pics Patrick.

looks better? yes, but it's harder to take pictures of. the wheels just disappear unless you blow out the white paint
