Chasing Boss 302 at VIR

Chasing down the organizer of the SVT Superfest at VIR in his Boss 302. He's on slicks; I'm on RE-11s. Don't mind the bug guts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gosja94Scgs

How come your car sounds so much better than a stock Z? Is it the Nismo exhaust or something?

Good run btw

If you can beat a SM track record on street tires in a Z you are doing good.

I missed 2 phone calls, and 2 messages here at work while watching, but I couldn't care less!
That was a fine performance, my friend!

Very nice. Camara angle makes it difficult to see into the turns. In the 2nd half of the video, you're killing him on the braking areas and turns!

Nice vid, I would love to be able to run at VIR! You have to respect the power from the new mustang! You were on his rear through every corner but it was just as impressive to watch how he took off down the straights

+1 on killing him in the brake zones. What brake setup (pads, fluids, ducts?) are you running?
