Here's how I spent mine...

Oh, Igor was there as well in his Z06. He wizzed by me while I was putting down some pretty good times.

Igor is great man! He is hooked like crack!

Yes, he is. He showed me his oil cooler setup. I might have to think about something like that. During those last 2 laps on the video I had my check engine light come on. It went away after letting it cool off, and I couldn't find anything amiss, so we're thinking it may have been an oil temperature warning. The car feels really good at 6800 rpm and the new clutch is holding up wonderfully.

So that is where you have been hiding out these days.... Glad to see you are enjoying yourself Autocrossing.

Trying to find the right platform for enjoying as my GTO is fun but just not the platform I want to mess up while trying to have a little fun in the corners. That is what I acquired the TA for so just a matter of time....oh yeah and MONEY...hehe..

Take it easy and be safe...

Great work out there.

That is a great low action angle you have, it was fun seeing you chase down the Porsche!

Very nice, Pat! I'll be out there on the 26th for the advanced lapping day sponsored by Park Place. Looking forward to it!

So, you sold the Vette? The Saab should be fun. I'll look for pics of you at the photographer's site.

Tranzor

Yeah, the wife and I are going to start a family here in the near future, so I really needed something that was four doors and safe (10 airbags in this puppy!) but still nimble and fast enough to be fun for a couple of lapping days a year.

The Saab fits the bill nicely... it'd run similar 1/4 mile times as my 'Vette did (Now that I've added a couple of mods to it), but it's powerband is higher in the RPMs, so it should do a little better in the passing areas of the track. My 'Vette ran out of steam after about 4000 rpms, so passing people didn't happen as quick as I thought it should.

Here you go... pics from my lapping day last week.

So, how did you like it compared to your C4?

Tranzor

The Saab did surprisingly well... haven't touched the suspension or brakes yet, but I think stock for stock the Saab would have hung with my C4 everywhere on the track except 3a-3b and 5a-5b, where the body roll was way too much for my liking.

I wasn't expecting much from the car in stock handling mode, but it was competent. Before I go next time though I'll upgrade the brakes & tires, along with getting stiff shocks, lowering springs, and a body brace to help with the roll. Once done with those things, I think the car will do very well, all things considered.

I didn't have near as much fun as you guys, but it's a major step towards be able to. I'm sure it won't be ready until next year, but I'm dying to find out if the new suspension setup works any better than the other car did.

If I can get the F1, FMIC, P/S pump & radiator in, it will be back on the road today.

Thanks for your help Doug & Ellis!!!

Maybe it's because you've been working 12 hr days for 2 weeks?

Thanks Jason. I got the car back together yesterday. All I need to do now is install the 2nd wideband gauge & figure out why the oil pressure gauge quit working. If all goes well I'll be taking it to B Town on Saturday. It aint ready to race yet, but I figure I can at least show up & help at the last CCC race & enter it in the BOP car show.
