Some laps from a recent lapping day at Beaverun.
After a DE at Watkins Glen, I had commented that the brakes didn't feel as solid as on my Porsche (

That's fixes now - I adjusted the brake pedal to minimize the gap between the pedal arm and upstop, and also swapped out the stock pads for Padgid RS-14 pads. The pads made a bigger difference - excellent brake feel now and very confidence inspiring. I also ordered SS brake lines, but haven't yet installed them - I'm not sure I need to anymore.
A few highlights from the video:
@ 1:00 - watch the chrysler crossfire srt8 understeer almost off the track in turn 10
@ ~3:00 - honked horn when gripping wheel too hard - anyone else have this problem? It certainly startled me.
@ 4:40 - in light rain, watch the '69 camero historic race car pull away, but then I reel him in. This car was very fast in a straight line, but as expected, not that great in the corners.
I played with a few Z06's (not caught on video) - they can easily take me on the straights, but not in the corners. It's amazing how much faster the elise is in the corners vs. any other car I've ever driven against. My best lap time was 1:09 - about 3 seconds faster than my best in the boxster.
