Very good showing Dan, you let the driving do the talking and represented well.
thanks it looked closer on TV than it felt those DSE cars are no joke LS6 600WHP and they can turn!

The info/laptimes/car stats on that show are just funky but my car was 2850lbs ish with me in, stock F20c 2l, intake/exhaust, AEM ECU with a 9500 redline, 100octane made about 220HP at the wheels

You did good considering you have a street car and those are balls to the wall race cars.

Dan,
Well done. That Camaro driver at the end is one of the few I have seen who can actually handle the car.
Most of the yahoos they have, even in the final round, have offs and can only deal with the straights.
This guy locked them up at the end to get the inside corner on you, that is a nice car but by far the best driver I have seen on the show from the mullet mafia.

Loved the "English Muffin, fish n chips, and all the other Anglo slams"
You represented the car and site well. Thanks.

He didn't realy have a chance not knowing the track and being put against the 700HP modern camaro at the start there
Yes he did well too. Being on track and delivering is an achievement in itself. You win some and you lose some, the important thing is he participated and drove cleanly. Possibly much better than I or most people on the forum could do in similar circumstances

wow Dan had a mostly stock engine?! good job! i wasn't sure how much power Dan was making since the show rated him at 200hp. Once i saw the race i thought he had some type of FI because he was doing really well. Really great driving there for 220whp against 650hp!

Good stuff dan_uk, I enjoyed watching it.

I love your late braking and cutting into the corner at a higher speed compared to the other guys. Definitely shows your driving potential + s2k's potential without the crazy horsepower.

Im not sure if you guys have seen Dan's videos on track but he is pretty ridiculous at going fast in an S. Definitely skilled.
