Pretty cool. What tires are you running in your car?

Nice driving. Man, in the Porsche it seemed like every time you turned the wheel you slid!
That car was a handful to run. LOL

Last event, talked to an ACR-E owner, who blistered the insides of his V720 pass mid way through the day.

In the event you missed this.

My name is Dino, I don’t own a Viper but my good friend Harry does, been trying to help him out with it a bit. I turned a few laps in his at Sonoma Raceway last weekend. What a car, I’m used to much lower grip and HP 911’s. We went through a set of front tires in a day, the insides were blistered, camber is ~ 2.7* going to look at alternative options, perhaps 315/30r18 & 345/30R19 R7’s on Forgeline wheels. Thoughts/experiences?

Video from my fast lap in the ACR, ended up with a 1:49.2 at the end of the session, car was pushing a bit at speed, rear wing was in the lower AoA position, front tires were the limiting factor IMO.

This was also my first time driving Sonoma Raceway, lots and lots of time on the table.
