Fellow track rats:
The best distillation of performance cars doing what they should do best.
Some tidbits:
Subaru WRX munched its front brakes and sent them off course in the dirt. Only 2500 miles and they were metal to metal! They said it reminded them of the Nismo 370Z! Best time for the Scoobie was 3:15.5
Cadillac CTS VSport with 420 hp ran 3:06.8 only one tenth slower than the 550 hp Jaguar XFR-S!
Our hot topic here, the Stingray that munched its engine while on track, ran a 2:53.8. This is the REGULAR model folks, not the hi po version!
One of my favorites, the Jaguar F Type R coupe ran 3:01.0, not as impressive as you'd think looking at its specs.
And the Z/28 turned in a 2:50.9, and recorded the HIGHEST g force ever recorded in turn one, matching the nearly one million dollar 918 Porsche!
Which BTW ran 2:43.1!!!
Much fun, I would rather spend a day at VIR than almost any other track in the country...
