Whats is that data thing he is using on the vent?
Seems that also colects lap timing!! I wanna...

-MSR

In the comments of this video, he talks about his car mods, as well as the gadget:

"it's a G2x system, that's not only record lap time and speed and rpm (which I'm using) through GPS. Actually It had the gear indicator, G Meter, and you could build a track map and using it for better driving ed."

I still would like to know if it is a Primer. He is quick.
 
That is Ferrand just like 2slow2speed stated.
He's a primer and very familiar with that track and he's quick!
Always get black flagged for driving too fast at all HPDE.

gee, thanks Dan:rolleyes:

I'm not that fast, given I've been driving that track for last 7 years, for the record, Kip had never been to the track, with one day practising, he cracked a 1:27.5 lap record, which is a whopping 8 seconds faster lap time than my best to date.

Re MetalSpikeRacing: I always love your car's pictures.
here's more info on the g2x: http://www.racepak.com/Road_Racing/G2X.php ; to be honest I haven't even used the full function of the system... that lap timer, speed and rpm alone with the video footage were enough for me to become a faster driver. (I'm a computer idiot)

Pacific Raceways is an old fun track and it was the location for nsxpo 08. I love that track as it got all the training tools (long straightaway, slow corner, fast chicane, braking down hill, long sweeper that allows you do tight line, slow in fast out, or even double apex; bumpy track and tricky road surface as they patching old spots) the attraction of the track is also proved to be deadliest as the lack of run off areas and the requirement of dicipline.. but that just reward the driver as he putting his time and effort to learn the track and also tuning the car. NSX shines on this track, stock or modified, I was disappointed the lack of turnout as I knew a few of our local members can drive and I hate to be the darkhorse everytime I went there. I did reach my bottle neck as I realized my "full stock" motor are within seconds to the SCCA track record M3. and as NA1/2-R GT stated, my speed and 'lines' concerned various corner workers.

Lucky for me, this track just opened couple years ago, and it become my favorite. Most important thing is that I wasn't alone, and all the fast hardcore drivers in the NW adores it and became regular there as well.

Oregon Raceway Park in Grassvalley, OR.

Dude... that's alot of swearing ;)

hahaha, that's my buddy who's a well educated engineer. He's also an instructor of most running clubs up here. Funny he swears a lot in my car, but we rarely heard him swear in normal life.:wink:

it must have something to do with my car's angry exhaust note, well most people up here wouldn't understand so it's still ok to post here. :tongue:

Speaking of angry exhaust note, what exhaust is that? (if there is one! :) )
 
Wow, did I see 136mph at the end of the pit straight?
F A S T section for sure!

believe it or not, I had done 145mph many moons ago there. That was with less modification, stock body, and 30 degree. however it was with 15/16 oem size tires and that was the indicated speed from the speedo instead of this GPS.

bfrank1972, it's my custom setup built by my friend. I beleived the 5.1 came closed to mine but with a lot more weight and potentially more restrictive. Angus exhaust is very closed design to mine; in fact mine is inspired by his design, so maybe you should hit up Angus for one.
 
Great, thanks for the info, your car sounds absolutely wicked (and as others have pointed out, you sure know what you're doing behind the wheel). Cheers
