Sun is trying to come out

No track days in 2017. I’m looking forward to 2018!!!!!

People often ask "how fast will it go?" I don't have a standard answer. One guy said, well how high does the speedometer go?

Anyway, I took a stab at calculating THEORETICAL top speeds in each gear of my car.

Gear Top Speed
1 45
2 84
3 122
4 153
5 184
6 219

I believe I have or could hit 150 in fourth before on the track (I never use fifth gear).

It is funny driving on the highway in sixth knowing I can shift to second to pass people. Even downshifting to third could probably make most people crap their pants as it sounds like a jet fighter is going to land I you.

Here is one of my fastest laps at Gingerman. Still on street tires. The new alignment was an improvement and was able to use my adjustable shocks to knock off a couple more seconds. It's progress!
