Track session: ZR1 versus GT3 RS

Thanks guys. I'm on the stock PS2 runflats. It's actually a pretty good tire. Michelin is coming out with a new sport cup that will fit the ZR1, so I will try that out next. It's a non runflat too which may make the pretty good ride even better.
The RS was on the stock sport cups, though in less than 3k miles, he's on his second set! He's having fun with the car obviously. He's done a sharkwerks bypass and full harness bar/6-point which I need. My left elbow and left knee were raw at the end of the track day since I bracing off the door. Probably a little more speed to be picked up if I'm not spending some effort to keep from falling out of the crappy stock seat.
I'd like the HUD and other instrumentation on the screen too, just not quite there yet with the technology. I got a GoPro mounted to the helmet and it's easy. May do a traqmate or something like that down the road.

Yeah, the harness will help a lot. The viper I'm getting has a 6 point installed, looking forward to that on track. I have driven/ridden in a couple of cars with harnesses and it's night and day compared to flopping around with a stock seat belt! The evo had pretty nice seats, but a harness would of been nice.
Car is awesome. Keep it rubber side down! More vids!

it digressed into a typical forum pissing match, but was pretty entertaining.

Really? No way?! Controversy? Magazine drivers? Not on the CF...

That's pretty awesome. It seems like those tires have some amazing grip for run flats.

I definitely need a six-point or at least a much better seat installed. Probably both. My left knee and elbow would greatly appreciate it.

I was in that GT3! That was at Motorsport Ranch last weekend, I guess? I was the yellow S2K in the novice group. Anyways, Alex, the guy who owns the GT3 was my instructor, and I was able to ride with him in that session.
Awesome guy, and great video.
Funny enough, a fellow S2K owner, Dave was my brother's instructor. Small world.
