Sure didn't want you to go by.  While I love the look and sound of Ferrari cars, they are overpriced.  Even if I were super rich, I doubt I'd buy one.

Sweet vid.  Thanks!

Yeah and I cut the previous 10 minutes of me following on their bumper.   I wanted the video otherwise I would have just got off the track and back on.

James, awesome vid.....I enjoyed every moment of it!!  I would say that you did us S2000 owners proud with that vid.   Having said that, there is now way in hell I'd take on your S2000 with mine.   ;)

Again, great vid!   :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Wow.  I guess patience is the order of the day when you're trying to pass someone on a track.  Very cool!  How fast were you going in the turns, and then the straightaways?

I never blocked people.  If you reeled me in, I let you by.  I'm not a douche.

It was an awesome day on the track.  I was passing cars left and right.  Last session every lap I would pass 2 cars.

I passed a couple of lotus elises and they came up to me afterwards in shock, I caught them and passed them like they were standing still,  kind of like the C63 AMG at the end of the video.

There was a sports racer there too, I caught up to him and he wouldn't let me pass, finally he did.  Later he said he was kind of upset, he didn't think anyone would've faster then him.

I was even able to keep up with him in the slow corners, I had to push hard though as he had a tons of grip it was fun as hell I never pushed so hard I was sliding around as I caught him and passed it was awesome..

Cool vid. Can you mount the camera any lower so you don't get the rear view mirror blocking half the view?  Is it attached to the roll bar?

It's attached to the roll bar so that's where she goes.  I forgot to zoom it in which helps.

Nice  :drive:

And why do you have a rear view mirror  ???   

I thought you be more of an Italian driver

Blowing the doors off a bunch of Pasta Rockets, a 911 and a sports racer = dyno plot not required.  Horsepower = "adequate for serious a$$ kicking."

If I get some time ill edit the part where the Arial Attom passes me.  It's running a K20 with over 200 horse yet he just barely walks away from me.   He easily has 1000lbs less weight to carry around.   

I followed him through corner one at his pace and nearly pooed my pants as we entered at 180+ and normally I do 160.   Then I realized that means I'm normally going way too slow.

Yup.  Found that out road racing bikes...if you're not a touch scared (or a lot!), you're going too slow....

If everything seems under control, you´re just not going fast enough....
