Wing/Splitter test run

Panoz26 · #1 11-02-2008, 07:36 PM

Well, today at VIR Full could not have been a better day!!

Weather was phenomonal, crowd was quick - we timed one Vette (at least it was a vette body, no telling what was under the hood) @ 1:55 ...... sick.

Anyway, the Riser's (of Eric's design) the angle of the Wing and the Splitter made today's driving experience totally different than my previous runs with the Panoz -- it's a different car. The car felt friggin AWESOME. It felt planted, especially in the uphill S's as well as Roller Coaster. I'll review the TraqMate data to see if my gut feeling is on or not -- but, I swear I felt faster and evenly planted.

So, initial results (Ill do another round of laps tomorrow) is two thumbs up. Way up:

SWEEEEEEEEEEEET, car looks great, can't wait to check out the data and hopefully I'll make it out that way tomorrow to see for myself.

Good to hear my hours of hard work paid off! :-D

Wow... car looks awesome! Vette running 1:55s... holy crap... that's faster than the comp coupe Vipers were running at Viperdays this summer. Any pics of it... I may know who it is.

Ive got a clip of it on video - Ill search the tape and edit it out.
It was a grey vette body - i think it was tube frame underneath with some sick a_ _ engine setup - I was top-ended in 5th on the back straight, he was here, then there, then gone - it was amazing.

Wow... yeah that was a ACP world challege body. Does your car have the DOHC 4.6? Sounds great and looks to have a good bit more pull than out 5.slow. VIR's my "home track"... love that place.

Looks to me like the only thing it did was to slow you down... that vett blew by you like you were tied to a tree...

But seriously, you looked good. How about posting up the rest of the video? I'd love to see you run around the whole track.

Actually, I think I was going in reverse - his official time - IN TRAFFIC with point by's was 1:56............. imagine that on Full Course..... dayum.

Ill capture the video sometime this week and shoot you over the links - I have 4 sessions caught on tape.
