Nice video...

You were able to maintain some distance to the Lambo... Kudos to you.

Near the 10-11 minute mark of your video, I was surprised to see a pre-2007 3 series Bimmer fly past you like a bat out of he**. That car had to have some type of forced induction system.

I would have liked to have seen whether or not the Bimmer would have caught the Lambo...

Thats the same Bimmer I already went around. Thats when the car over heated and began to act up. It eventually went in to limp mode.

Nice run, saw one of those superleggeras last week. they look tiny

How do you guys avoid boiling over the power steering fluid? I had some leakage and spray around the cap and engine bay last time I did 4 x 20min sessions?

I enjoyed watching that, I guess your package got to the hotel in time. Any plans to help with the cars cooling?

Nice, SO sad to see Lotus being driven that badly.

That pup should have been flying at least on corners (orange one at 2:00 or so)

We ran mid 1:45's all day. Best two laps were 1:42 and 1:43. Car did well for what it is. Needs more camber and better coil overs. I believe I will be selling the brand new KW coil overs very soon if anyone is interested. I just put them on a couple of weeks ago. Also looking for some sway bars. :-)

That was a great video to watch, thanks for posting it for us.

I just installed KW variant 2 on my car and I find them way to street oriented but much better than what I had. I'm hoping to replace the coils with some of their racing springs in the future. I'm thinking sway bars too as I still have a fair amount of roll.

Nice video.

So why were you able to keep up with the Lambo at all? Is your C63 really that fast? Difference in drivers? Or some of both?

I can answer that having been on several tracks with both of these cars. It really is that fast. Honestly at nearly every event we go to we and a couple friends with a GTR and a Viper, are the fastest cars in the intermediate group. However there are always a few faster cars/drivers in the expert run group. Some much faster!

That’s certainly a pleasant exhaust note up through the gears.

Kinda rewarding to be chasing down an exotic, eh? :D

Have any of you run Road Altanta before and can give me a goal for a good lap time. Anyone run with the AMG Academy and possibly know what they are running? This is our first time there and we WILL be back!!
