Video: Thunderhill 3mi
Really, searching for Thundrehill here only shows a handful of threads? I'm surprised, the track is way more popular than that. Let's start a video thread for the typical 3mi config then...
Here's a video from this weekend. It does look pretty tame and leaves some time on the table, but gives you an idea what our cars are capable of... First time I've brought the 2er there since my covid upgrade spree (mostly weight reduction, fancy MCS shocks, very stiff springs). Car feels really well dialed now -- it's wonderfully neutral, and stepping out is a very progressive affair. Bonus point, we stayed at the track an extra day and got some Very Necessary skidpad drills in. Because... what else is there to do with old track tires?

Nice – thanks for posting! The car's suspension appears to be very responsive to your inputs. When you're on a track where jumping curbs is the quick way around, my experience is that there's nothing like motorsport-quality shocks to make those transitions a piece of cake.
From what I've seen here on 2addicts, there aren't very many owners doing track days, and even fewer are creating and posting videos of their laps. I wish there were more. I think many owners aren't aware of what they're missing by not attending track days at their local race tracks. The opportunities offered at those events are so much more than a driver will ever realize from his or her car on public roads. It's a shame that videos convey only a modest impression of what a lap on the track is really like, and that's regardless of the car running the lap.

Yeah, I'm starting to appreciate good motorsport shocks more and more. It was a pretty stark difference for me especially because the previous set was slowly going bad. Just before they finally let go, the car felt as damped as a 60s cadillac.

I bet it made a big difference in how the car drives. That much weight will be felt.
This is an extreme weight loss car. I think he said it started to cost about $100/pound. He looks at everything as possible weight loss: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...1971-911s.html |
