Taka tuned~
>Running with that group looks like a blast- 550 Maranello, 355, F40,
>Carrera GT, 993tt and 996GT3- quite a group. I also saw two STis in
>that photo album- how did they do?

Uhmmm well.. since you asked, I didn't have opportunity to run with the
A group, but WRT to the STI's, one waved me around and the only other
one I came upon simply got out of the way.  And, considering that my car
had ME driving, I can only conclude that an rs2 equipped, dip stick
popping pig will blow by a stock STI.  Of course they could have just
been fearful of 4000 pounds of red pig with a crazed driver coming at
them.

WRT 1155's chewing rotors... could well be as I had just installed them
and attempted bedding as best I could in the first few throw away laps.
I reinstalled red boxes this AM and will maybe try some textars with new
rotors?  I wonder if ECS Tom would sell me new rotors and hats and then
I just trade my old ones in?  Or, how about a big 993tt rotor GP?  I
volunteer JaMu as he is really good at these GP things ;)

Also WRT Taka's other post offering his "track/test" pipe for sale, I
had switched this in just priorly (new word here) to RA and would offer
that IME it actually quiets the exhaust a bit, but still falls whay
short of the Carrera GT for some reason:/

Cheer's
