Yeah. 2011 Z06. I don't drive it daily to avoid putting miles on the sport cups. With an aggressive alignment, it'd chew through tires fast. If it wasn't for that, yes I could drive it daily.
My DD is a 2002 C5Z which still kicks ass after 115k miles!
Thanks. All tracks are fun by nature
+1, those elevation changes are surely a blast.
Not surprised at all that he will be getting another 911 in the future. Dude just got a mess of a car. I'm looking forward to his M4 videos.

Their pricing for a lot of stuff is just beyond silly for that car. Your really have to have a hard on for that specific car because it doesn't feel like you get your moneys worth at all IMO.

What camber are you running, front and rear?

Pretty solid. Can you go even more aggressive than that? I find that toe is what can really chew up your rubber fast. I run -2.5 up front on my DD and -2.0 in the rear.
Z06 sounds sweet in your video.

I can go more aggressive but I have to drive it to and from the track. Also, different cars handle alignment and tire wear differently. -2.7 is pretty aggressive for a Z06. It's certainly visible. The toe in at the front is very slight.
What's your DD? are those your track setting or DD settings?
I'll have to do some digging. I was stupid and didn't adjust tire pressure properly the first session and part of the 2nd second which lead to very high pressure at the end of each session. Similar to how high TP's will destroy the center of a normal car, I expect it'd do the same to the inside 1/3rd of a car with high negative camber.
You make a good point on how settings and results vary from model to model. Those are my DD settings. I own a BMW 335d and have gone with -3 up front for the track. I've thrown a lot of money into the suspension but on the track you really feel how lacking an LSD is. That will set me back about $4000 though so I haven't been too "active" in getting it just yet.
I love the turn in with -2.5 up front as a DD. Lots of fun for sure.
I like the "Speed Warning" at the end.
welcome back
i thought you were permed bruh. you must've don goofed big you were gone for a while

It's...not very fast. :\
14.5 seconds to get to 200KPH?
Also, it sounds like a Gran Turismo car. Awful.
Isn't the sound from the dumb electronic exhaust speaker system BMW has implemented?
AlphaSnake
...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
Yes.

It all makes sense now.
Gran Turismo games have been preparing us for the future...the future of shitty exhaust sounds pumping through speakers.
Thanks Smoke-dawg!
Naw, 1 month ban... I made a mistake in how I phrased something. Mods are pretty fair with their bans. It was a bit of a graveyard thread so it was my fault.
I missed you all. Auto-GAF is like a drug...

All right guys, I wanted to post this here and see what you all think. I know it's a little different but we're in the rat rod subculture. It was my Dad's idea, and he did most of the work, but I did help him quite a bit. It's a Massey Ferguson combine cab, tagged, titled, and insured. He built the frame from scratch, 3/4 ton front and rear end. 472 cubic inch Cadillac engine with a TH400 automatic transmission. Affectionately dubbed - FARMAGEDDON

All I can say is FUCK YEAH! Love it. Idk what it is about project cars like these but they're fucking awesome.
Thanks! Project cars are awesome. I think there's something really special about building or restoring your own car, getting a little dirty, slowly seeing it come together and then finally getting it out on the road. It's a great feeling.

Porsche 918 not faster than McLaren MP1.

The P1 is out of this world.
In terms of lap time, I expect P1 > 918 >> LaFerrari.
I have a weird feeling that Ferrari is going to come up short in overall lap time performance.
BMW Z2 rendering. Think it looks decent right? Hoping to have a lighter cheaper smaller more fun to drive Z4 are you?
WRONG. It is FWD
BMW's brand dilution is just insane at this point.

I think the car is ugly, even ignoring the FWD.
That front fascia is way, way to big and gaudy for the little roadster. It looks like they took the front end of a 7-series and stuffed it on there without changing a thing.

Saw an F-type today, looked sexy as hell though it was wider and a bit bigger than I thought it was. Weird seeing it as it just came out, is not common, and I live in a suburb town of a mid size city that doesn't have a ton of nice cars.

i never really understood why new corollas sell so well. They are badass cars used for the price, but I can't see myself paying 17k+ for a new one.

In the US? idk I thought it came out more recently.
the new 2 series active tourer bmw and i3 are both FWD. shame they went back on their own slogan.

Yes, in the US first deliveries were last June.

I wonder what the GAF record is for the quickest re-ban.
I looked at his post history, and thought, "banned for talking about a threesome objectively!?!? The post he quoted was way worse!"
Then I saw the Fedora stuff. Oh FWD. You gotta stahp bruh. Get in e-arguments on reddit instead or something.

WTF NLFFWD why you ban so much
maybe Bish drives a Honda?

Send this to BMW please.
Don't get why FWD was banned, but it seems to be about fedoras?
At least get banned for useful stuff like I did, it's either religion, politics, system wars or mobile wars, lol.
Oh and I saw a C7 convertible on the road yesterday. I think it had manufacturer plates because they shouldn't be for sale yet? The front looked too bulbous for my tastes, which was accentuated by the lack of a solid roof. I'll take the regular C7 thanks.
I see lots of not-for-sale cars around these days. 3 Series GT (6 months ago, before they went on sale), Audi Q3, etc.

I know we shouldn't discuss bans in other threads...but jeez, FWD needs to chill out sometimes.

Some track pics my wife took this weekend:
Hardbraking into Turn 1 From 140mph down to about 90mph:
Playing with a race spec'd Shelby:
A fully unloaded suspension shot of going over Turn 5 knows as Cyclone:
