Hahaha sorry, that was for BoilerUpXFire... a completely accidental thread jack...

i think his username use to be L5-XFR or some BS like that.

 

Yeah, DR's just won't do on the road course. I'll have to make do with my Sumitomos and Yokohamas.

 

I watched that video and I think you have a chance. The straights are long and the corners sweeping. You may want to switch to racing brake fluid before hitting the track though. Otherwise the car should be good to go. I think you may shock a few people.

Alright...thread jack.....how did he change is username and keep his post count?

 

Now that Julian is more active in the forum and taking donations, he'll change your user name upon request. I saw it buried in a thread but can't find it now.

 

Ahhh, I miss my S2k. It doesn't have torque yet is still quite fun to drive. I've never driven a car with as smooth of a transmission (the shifts are pure silk, and very short). It tracks incredibly well too- it feels to be a very close ratio steering, ie very little input turns the car a lot!

On a road course with more turns than straights it wouldn't be a surprise to see an S2k smoke an SRT-6. The SRT-6 handles well, but not great- it achieves excellent track times due to it's blisteringly fast straights.

PS Here's a shot of my Rio Yellow Pearl 05 S2k

 

Based on this comment alone I would suggest you don't have enough experience and should stay home.

 

Staying home is no longer an option - I ran my mouth too much.

 

Wouldn't some good tires and shocks significantly improve that?

 

depending on the brand and type and setup...yes, but that is ALOT of money for someone just to "try out" the track.

when i talked with the guys at the driver edge they said to run stock if thats what you run daily, unless you are only taking the car to the track, run it stock.

better tires will just mask all the mistakes that you can/will make the first couple of visits, same goes for any suspension work

i personally would not recommend a first timer buying race tires or any suspension work.

 

Cory,

I agree that I shouldn't spend money for my first time on the track. However, the suspension has been bothering me since I bought the car. Like I said, the car is overpowered for the suspension. Koni shocks make a huge difference. That is the only mod I plan to make. I just want to make a respectable showing in the curves. The car will do all the work in the straights. I am keeping the engine stock.

 

Sorry to throw off the S2K thread again, but I asked Julian to change my name because at get togethers it was difficult for people to remember 05XF-LVR, so I requested a change, and as a sponson, Julian was kind enough to oblidge....

Oh yeah, GO BOILERS

Thank you for your time....

 

after you get the suspension in i recommend you get an alignment done.

this is the place that we always go to for any of those goodies, the owners name is Curt, he awsome. 5 stars for sure!
