10 x 18s with 285/30 Cups all round.
It corners as good as the CSL, but being heavier and carrying more speed, he has to get on the brakes earlier.
Has full APs all round with RS29s, so stops well (considering it is 80kg heavier than the CSL).
With no driver, mine is 253bhp per tonne (assuming full compliment of ponies) and his is 279bhp per tonne (assuming same). Hence why he romps away on straights.
On the lap above, I am solo and he is passengered up, so it appeared closer than it usually is compared to when I either have a passenger or he ditches his....
When you add weights of drivers (he is a big lad) the power to weight goes to: 241 and 262 respectively. To make it more even, I need him to have one of our fat mates in the car, which takes him to 246bhp per tonne (whilst I stay solo) LOL. This is all based on standard power figures. His car will shortly be 450bhp, which will make the disparity that much greater (over 300bhp per tonne without driver
). Given it is already a struggle to stay with him on the straights, I won't be able to keep up any more.
After some trial and error, it is properly set up on the suspension now, so he can take turn 1 at Snett flat in 4th
. At Snett on Wed he was monstering 997 GT3s, GTRs, F30 M3s. I personally still like the feel of the CSL compared to it, as it feels much more "chuckable" and has more steering feel, but it is just gutless by comparison.
