LOL you know he's talking about The Matrix right?PJWANNABE said:"Is there a reason you chose red to represent the TracKey?"
"That was sort of an inside joke that came from our chief engineer. There’s a movie reference in there."
Beam me to Leguna Seca Scottie!

Edit: so far this looks to be the best written, in-depth, accurate, article I've read. It also has some of the best photos and the second coolest video of the event.

You can take the blue pill (I think that's the color) and everything is back to normal. Or you can take the "red pill and free your mind Neo" or something like that. Someone did a photo removing the pills and inserting the two keys. It's out there somewhere.PJWANNABE said:Uh...yeah. :-[
It has been a long time since I have seen it. What is the reference?

Agreed, I was just commenting on the “speed” of the respective tracks. LS is “small” compared to VIR and Big Willow. VIR and Willow are two rare tracks where you can top a 1000cc Superbike out…..and stay there for a few heartbeats at WOT.cloud9 said:That makes the lap time difference even "smaller".
I've only ever driven one car with slicks on it. It was amazing! Had to keep the temps up though or you were on roller skates.cloud9 said:If I have it right, it looks like it's 220 vs 60 which is a HUGE difference. The GT500s came with a stock Goodyear at 220 and compared to the R888 and NT01 at 100 there is a night and day difference. Now go to a 60 tw and you're in Hoosier territory where the difference is even greater.

Unfortunately all too true. You should have to pass a test to buy a BOSS.Mark said:this must be the silliest single item I have read out of all of the reviews, lol...
"we have to admit a bit of worry that some customers might inadvertently dial up a 5 (full-on track) setting on one shock and a 1 (boulevard ride) on another. Having this error engineered out with a dashboard or console-mounted actuator might not be a bad idea."

I think this quote will be disappointing to LS owners. Only one second a lap faster than a Boss on R compound tires.
"Lofty goal? During testing, with 2010 Daytona winning hotshoe driver Jonathan Bomarito behind the wheel, the Boss bested the M3 coupe’s best time by more than a second. The Special Edition Laguna Seca Boss 302 beat that time by another second."
