350z from hertz... $79.95 per day!

Enjoy

 

I'll look into it tonight, but I doubt I'll go. I really wanted to take mine. I've done so much to it for handling that I'm eager to start some track time and see how it feels. It is so hard to tune things without getting enough seat time to see what it does.

I'm just pissed and miss my car. I took the conservative route with getting second opinions, etc. instead of just replacing the pulley and hoping for the best. All signs look good for now, but you never can be too safe. I'd be even more pissed if I had rushed it and compromised something along the way. That is all that I keep telling myself.

 

Dam I wanna go...Any room for a 63. I love Vegasssssssssssss and could get a room no prob. I know this was planeed many moons ago but my schedule seems to just have cleared itself

 

I'd assume that you could take my spot and the crowd going is a great one. I'd love to see how the CLS63 030 does against the E5 and E63!!

My $$ is on Vadim, if the 997 has enough power.

 

Dam you sure you cant go? I think my car would do well , but who knows how I drive. I have never raced on a "track". Sucks that your car is sidelined, took MB 27 hours to wash my car and reprogram the transmission..LOL

 

Yup, I'm out. I'd be interested to see how the 19 in rims get offset by the 030 package. I wish I were there. To me, track driving is much easier than the streets. As always, it takes a few round to get a track down, but I am big on memorizing the brake, acceleration, and turn in points asap. Flat tracks are harder, because ther is that mirage effect that tends to make you turn in too soon.

 

I think I can make it IF EVOSPORT cuts me a deal on the Quaifes before this date.

if not ill be at big willow on March 14th and the streets iof willow in April

 

^^ lol interesting... i like this...some pp that really want to turn up the competion!!

i'm ready!! btw just to let you guys know... i just won the karting championship here in north cal ... if that means anything

 

If you want to go, PM me we can put you in instead of Jangy

Be sure you have a place to stay first, rooms are hard to come by and expensive, I'm staying at Mandalay, if you stay there, we can have a few drinks on Fri and on Sat after a rough day at the track.

It would be nice to see a CLS 63 030 at the track!

im not racing anyone im here to have fun.

this amgsc guy is just fat cat fodder

pissing contests is why i dont go to track events with a bunch of people. ive seen bad things happen.

 

i complely agree...thats why i go crazy in karts cheap to replace... i to want to get back home in my 911 unscratched etc...but i'm always willing to learn from someone faster then me... its not like i hate pp that are faster then me...as a matter infact i go and talk to them, ask them for advice, share techniques...ways to improve my driving...thats what its all about...learning new lines/techniques etc

 

Sorry to say, I think we're pretty much booked. Where were you a month ago??

Cyrus

 

I'll have alot to learn from you at the track...so dont get to wasted on me ! LOL i want to see your technique/line so i can learn something! i cant wait ...see ya friday night or sat morning!

 

wow 4 pages...

Unfortunately, I will only be able to make it out on Saturday. So, if anyone wants, or needs my spot on Sunday you're welcome to it!

DO I NEED A HELMET?????????

 

why dont you just rent a ****in car?
you got the helmet, signed up........ just rent a car
they might even rent you one at the track, roll w/ R and get a car in vegas

 

a member on 1 of the p car forums told me that there are a lot of cops waiting outside of town on track days
****ers

 

Actually the two lane 15 120-0 miles outside of Vegas is the #1 speed trap in the USA. The troopers on this stretch are known to pull over fast fancy cars. Stay under 100 at all times during this drive on the 15 they trap from planes, visual and simply by following you for several miles. My last 2 tickets were on this road and the same guy yanked over my 55, he loved chasing me down from the otherside of the 15, this time I will just keep going to 186, kidding. Also the patrol told me there are an average of 130 deaths per year on the 15, and the majority occur between Baker and the state line.
The speed limit is 75 so pacing @ 90-95 will get you a ticket. 80-85 they usually let you keep going.

 

That is awesome. I love karting just wish I was better at it. I did well at the AMG challange last year in my group. The guys were suprised I finished 3rd in my qualifying heat but then I was bummed because in the final they lined us up alphabetically versus by qualifying time so I was in the rear

You will have to give me some tips!

 

Anyone else staying at the Saddle West hotel or in Pahrump or am I the only one If so I may have to change my plans. I will know later tonight what time I am leaving on Friday and will PM those who plan on leaving in the afternoon my number so we can try to meet up.

 

wow shelle.
your are to reckon with
I think I'm going to lose to a lady!

we can talk about driving tech
all day sat/sun lol
I'm interested in ur tech
myself!

 

I concur, I got nailed for 102 in a 70 on Blue Diamond (Rte 160) from Vegas to Spring Mountain. Keep your speed down. Luckily, I found an attorney there that went to court on my behalf after a continuance, and they got it reduced to a parking violation. I know, sounds unbelievable, but they did. If you do get a ticket, contact Rasmussen and Kang in Vegas, they hooked me up!! Spring Mountain is a great track, very technical and depending on the layout you get, upwards of 25 turns or so. Lots of fun. They have a great driving school there with Corvettes too.

Have fun out there!! Wish I had seen this earlier, I would have gone

 

Jangy worth considering, what else are rent a cars made for!!
Hertz Shelby Mustang!!! I say no more.!!!

 

Jangy,
where in SD are you getting your car worked at ??

I know "someone" who has maybe you know take at GT-H stang out to a track day..... I say dont do it!

The car is quick, sounds INSANE, drives well BUT the Traction system can not be defeated. It has a spacer under the traction off button to make it so you CANT push the button. While you CAN pull the button on, remove the spacer, and go from there its still a risky thing since the button could snap off. That might look funny

Anyhow with the traction system ON the car will brake the rear wheels the entire time you are on the track and your rear pads will be GONE in a few hours. Lets say that backing plates on rotors dont sound good when you go to return the car at the Hertz airport drop off!

Also the brakes are absolute junk. Talk about fade.

Go fo a 350z for its much better suited to track use. It actually just looks fine when you are done assuming you dont try any off-roading.
