No one known. Young former sts Protege5 driver. Car was brand new. No development AFAIK and on the oem tires. I was being lazy, complacent ran on my street star specs (100+ temps). He ended up about .8 ahead of me. We had several 350's in attendance, no comparison in how it launched and went through fast open slaloms. I watched on car video of his run. Good solid lines. 370 was much quicker down the fast slaloms and looked very stable. The 8 was better at the turnarounds and sweepers.

If I were a rich jacket hunter.......

I think he is having sticker shock at the price of the 19" tires and wheels. (much less shocks.....)

 

You would get an R8 for SS.

 

In addition. Actually two R8's. One as a daily driver to later trade in on a R10.

 

you ain't kidding. oy vey.

 

Got my oz ultraleggeras today(thanks GeorgeH) and my 295 hohos that i bought of ebay(gotta love ebay, got em for 86 plus shipping). Next event homestead on the 19th, front and rear konis are on now, will let you guys know how it goes.

 

You are welcome - I'm glad to hear they showed up OK.

Good luck with those 295s!
