Vette Racing in Florida - from John P > a friend of mine
 

http://youtu.be/xxYApHIB2PE

This is Jeremy who own Fasterproms and tunes my car and a myriad of others. He is 29 (i think) and is driving his 'daily driver' on this road race course. I am impressed that he does well and he seems to have the HP to get around the turbo Porsches and the other Vettes. He is the same guy getting CTS-V Caddys into the 10 second quarter mile range.

Neat thing is that the race was recorded on his cell phone - I found it interesting and somewhat educational to watch. So much for the turbo P's.

Tells me it is about a grand or two per race as it requires new tires every other race and brakes: rotors about every third I think.

Jeremy's Comments

Here are some Quick Laps 12/10/11 @ Homestead Fl. They avg 1.44 and a best of 1.42 on Nitto NT05 street tires vs many cars on slicks. Fasterproms Fully prepped C6 Z06 street car vs Porsches (Race cars) and a few other cars. There were over 30 in the run group and this was the lowest ETs of the session. The Cars potential has yet to be fully utilized and makes up for its drivers lack of talent ;) .
This video was taken with my Iphone Redneck blue taped to the windshield

:handshak: Nice ! Also Jeremy is just about one of the best tuners in the Country. Didn't know that he tuned C4 ZR-1's.

No Frank I got the orig. email from John P and he does the chip tune for John's Camaro

Now he may very well do a ZR-1 if asked -- do not know about that.

Really opened it up once he got past the P cars. I would like to have seen his HUD numbers.

Bryan, thanks for posting! That was a treat!!!

To think before I bought my 90 ZR-1, 2nd hand I might add, I was considering a new 350Z....:sign10:.....That's the truth too! I am sooooo glad I made the right choice.

Your bud can drive! That was a blast riding along with him via the video. Man if he had some real tires....those turbo P-cars didn't have the grunt! And that camaro used the Eclipse as a pick when they were in that train as he rolled out just enough or John would have been in his trunk. Good defensive move on the camaro's part, but to no avail. John's tired seem to be giving up towards the end maybe...but this was on street tires!?!? NT05's???

I think I found a tire to put on my spare set of wheels!

God that was fun! Thanks again for posting it!:thumbsup:

TT if you look at his you tube account there are a few more racing vids posted by him to see and some have some P cars that are very competitive. Have a look and see for yourself. Just go the the one I posted and click on his account and they will all show up for viewing.

If fact here is the account link for you.
