The car is savage - Andy Mckee ain't a slouch of a driver either. It runs a HUGE turbo and 5.33 gears to keep it in the powerband.

By far the fastest thing out there is Barry Goldine's Tui

Haha nice! I know the the owner of that Mustang in the first pic, he and a good friend of mine Mike Maier have piloted that thing to a few national championships. Here's a quick vid of Mike driving that car.

savage is the perfect word for it. like it's constantly just getting slingshot out of corners. SO MUCH POWER you have to bow to it...

I don't think I'm making it out today. Gotta be IN SF at 5pm and my STU don't run until later in the afternoon.

I tend to hang out with either Scott Fraser / Tom Kubo or the BP/BSP/CP guys (too may years building Vette's and Camaros)

I ran Sunday in the 3rd group. Rbp 99RS. This was my 2nd auto-x ever. I think my car was set up better last year when I did Marina, still had the td04 so it spooled up quicker coming out of and during tight corners. Now with the vf34 car felt slower coming out of the turns but faster on the straight. Oh btw was running on 3yr old Azenis rt-215's lol.. I'll have my new tires on next season and hopefully coilovers too. Wanna start doing more of these in the future.
