Default srt6 on Watkins Glen Racetrack

Folks, I drove my srt6 on the 3.4 mile race track at Watkins Glen NY yesterday and I was amazed by the car's performance. It does have some built-in understear but that is to be expected. The acceleration out of the corners really supprised me as did the transmission function. I just left it in drive and it up shifted and down shifted better than if I had interfered. I was cresting the esses on the track at about 115mph and hitting 132mph on the following short uphill straight. The stock brakes also functioned flawlessly. Even after 15-20 minute sessions of maxium breaking at every corner, I experienced no brake fade. I liked my car before yesterday but I love it today.

Driving my srt6 on the track at Watkins Glen was all about the car. I raced for 6 years, so even thought I enjoyed it, it really was all about the car and it far exceeded my expectations.
