Default Z4 Kill

looks like Stooks stomped all over the Z4 in B Stock at this SCCA event:

I doubt it will be the same next weekend. That Z4 leaves the line like no other. I also saw a set of hoosiers in 18 inch with Pats name on them. Think they might be for a 350z?

Yeah... the Z4 will be tougher at the Pro... and continue to get tougher as he gets it developed. The course at the Tour was S2000 heaven - all fast top-of-second gear transitions. Other courses where lateral grip matters more than transitional ability the Bimmer will be fast, also.

And those Hoosiers were for Pat's 350, but he just got a set of wheels last week... we won't see that car hit the track for a little while yet. Is it Friday yet!

Skewing off on a tangent here: I did notice T.C. Kline running a new 350Z in T2 at Willow Springs this past weekend. Totally stock (well role cage) on Hoosiers and outqualifying Tom Brecht in his E46M3. Interestingly enough Brecht was able to pass him after 5 laps or so but in the straights the M3 doesn't exactly pull away from the Nissan despite its nearly 50HP advantage.
However autocrossing is a different story altogether....The question is, can anyone dial out the inherent understeer??

Was Brecht in a T1 car? The E46M3 goes to T1, but the 330ci goes to T2. Was it maybe a 330? I heard that TC was building one for T2, man does he get around. Do you remember what the times were?

Oh, and hi Ken!

I remember watching the T2 S2000 running with the mustangs and camaro's and it was holding it's own down the straights despite large power differences. Exit speed can make all the difference in the world.

Hey dude. Ya Brecht was in a T1 E46 M3. Talk about a sweet looking ride man. Unfortunately i don't recall the times. T.C. is just a damn good driver, he also outqualified a Viper.
So Jason, can you teach me how to hit cones? Your reputation almost precedes you..
If it wasn't for a local event this weekend I'd do the P.R.O. Perhaps next week I'll give it a shot.
There will be far more people the following weekend, given there isn't a concurrent event locally.
Oh ya I'd like to run against you. Perhaps I'll convince Rhoades to let me drive his S2000...hehe..
