  1. This car is an amazing track car

    I wanted to post an update to this after my second weekend at VIR with the Boss. I was able to shave 5 seconds off my lap time. (And got moved up to the blue group and cleared for solo, woohoo!)The stock brakes faded this time (with ATE super blue brake fluid.) There were still there at the...
  2. Corner speed vs. horsepower

    I will definitely miss the power of the Boss. That engine is perfect.
  3. Corner speed vs. horsepower

    Yep. This is a big part of why I'm selling my Boss and turning my S2000 into the track car. Money. Brakes and tires add up fast. The decision was made much easier when I had to give an S2000 on r-compounds a point by at VIR. I couldn't believe the speed he was carrying, and I thought for sure he...
  4. 2012 Kona Blue w/ Recaro/Torsen For Sale in Raleigh, NC

    I LOVE the Boss, but I love the track more, and I'll be able to go to the track more often if I take my S2000 instead. It's already paid off, tires and brakes are cheap, and I won't cry myself to sleep if I put it into a wall. I would rather make keep the Boss as the track car, but this works...
  5. Corner speed vs. horsepower

    Yes, the 2:12 was VIR full, and the 2:58 was on VIR grand. Car and Driver does all of their Lightning Lap testing using the VIR grand configuration (which is frustrating for me because it's almost never available, so I can't benchmark myself against their times.)
  6. Corner speed vs. horsepower

    Pobst ran around VIR in 2:13 in a Cayman S in this video. No idea if it was stock or not, but that's pretty damn fast.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS4IUfT5s2o

  8. Corner speed vs. horsepower

    I was browsing youtube and found a Cayman S that ran almost the exact same lap time at VIR as I did in my Boss 302. Both videos had data overlays from Harry's Lap Timer, so I was able to compare corner and straightaway speeds. I setup a youtube doubler and fiddled with it a bit to get them both...

  11. VIR 30 AUG - 01 SEP

  12. VIR 30 AUG - 01 SEP

    It was great to meet you Hermes and Bill! Excellent weekend for Bosses at VIR. All three promoted from green to blue. All three giving the Porsches hell. ;D Here's my fastest lap of the weekend, trying to keep up with Bill. Bill's car is so ninja-sweet it's not even funny...
