I went to the track yesterday with the RF-40 for the first time. As you know it has a 485hp engine with way to much torque. I put a set of sticky tires on it in preperation of the event at Willow Springs next weekend.
Most of you know me as a Cobra racer, let me tell you this is the best car I've ever driven at a road coarse. I was at the west track at Firebird international which is a fairly tight 1.2 mile coarse. i was turning laps faster than I every have in a Cobra and I was only driving the car about 75-80%. The standard brakes with good pads stopped the car on a dime. I could put it anywere I wanted and it was totally predictable.
I can hardly wait to run it at Willow where I can take advantage of the aerodynamics and use the hp it has. I feel some really good lap times coming.
For those who are close to Willow, feel free to come out and join us for some fun this weekend. Just look for the big white transporter. If you want directions please e-mail me.
