That miata is nuts lmao especially considering it takes a C7 GS to outpace the SS 1LE

[@Mechanical_Eng_HPDE]

That Miata is 2500lbs, has a K24 with 250WHP, race tires and an Expert driver, I was lifting on the straights just to stay behind him and try to catch him on the corners at which I failed at...

Nice driving. Was the guy in the C8 new to tracking? He was all over the place. Btw I test drove an SS 1LE but ended up buying a different car - freaking incredible handling on the 1LE. Just blew me away. They are very impressive. I can't even begin to imagine what the supercharged version would be like.

This is the advanced group, so we all are "experienced" For $42k there are not any stock cars that can do what the SS1LE can do...

[@wadestipp1833]

@@Mechanical_Eng_HPDE Yeah it's a very good deal. And an incredible car.

Yep that c8 was about as unsmooth as sandpaper

I hope its ok but I added you as a friend on the garmin app, I am trying to improve day by day and would like to use you as a reference. Especially since we have the same car (mine is an 18)

[@Mechanical_Eng_HPDE]

I just accepted your request, now you can compare our data! see you at the track!

[@boost_brothers4872]

Absolutely! Can’t wait
