You know I don't know actually. It had mods from what I understand and I think he might have gone into the bottom end to do some stuff but I don't know. The car did run well though. I passed the Mustang three times. Once before this guy where he put up the video and on another occasion (IIRC). In the video after I pass him and I get to the end of the back straight I get behind a white nissan 240SX which is Ricky, a good friend of mine. From the turn sequence from the end of the back straight all the way until I pass Ricky on the front straight, I am backed off of my pace. Ricky's car is stock spring, stock shocks, stock motor, cheap NAPA brake pads (stinky), but Kumho V710s. Ricky is a very good driver, his car does not have a bunch of go fast mods and Ricky is just learning the track. In other words, when the Mustang closes up on me in the turn sequence before the front straight, I am just waiting for a pass on Ricky. What I would have liked for him to show is more footage after the pass on Ricky because I pulled away from the Mustang.

The guy I was duking it out with the track event before that had an exige and we were neck and neck he came back with his former 350Z track car (unknown mods but mods) and damn it he was faster. I was not able to bump up against him but once that weekend and that was when the ambient temps were pretty cold and he got right up my butt on the warm up lap (and his heavier car warm up the tires real quickly) and pass me on the first green lap. I could not push it on lap two. On lap three when I finally had heat in my tires to where I did not feel like I was on ice, I was able to stablize the gap and then we got into traffic. He is selling the Lotus becuase he is faster in the Z.
