    Grabbed a GoPro for Today's Sebring DE

    I snagged a gopro off of Craigslist yesterday just in time to do a couple vids at Today's PCA DE. Another successful track day in the little E30!

          yeah, its pretty decent. I usually surprise several of the Porsche guys. Of course the GT3s and such still scream by without a care.

            Camera angle in first video is pretty much identical to the view I use playing Forza. In other words this was AWESOME to watch. That looks like so much fun. Track looks quite taxing on suspension though, pretty torn up in areas.

              Sebring is known for being quite rough, and it is! Turn 17 exit is fast and bumpy - and a little scary. I saw a guy wearing a T-shirt yesterday that said, "Turn 17 at Sebring is the wildest corner in North America" -Andy Lally

                about damn time. I've been wanting to see videos of your car in action for a while now haha. How much does your car weigh and what diff are you using?

                Mount the camera in your car next time, we all love in-car videos!!

                  The car weighs 2630 without driver and I'm using a 3.25 diff with the stock G260 transmission. I will try to get some in car footage next time.

                    full interior and sound insulation? I'm around 2700 (no driver) with the VSR roll bar and full interior/sound insulation. Any stories or videos keeping up with other cars? I'm hoping to keep up with my S2000 friends here in California

                        I've removed the rear seats, rear carpet, and trunk tar. Its got lightweight front seats, but other than those things, the interior and insulation is intact. 944 turbos, boxsters, and earlier 911s are my usual closely-paced cars. I got a couple point-bys from an e46 M3 this weekend. My car handles the tight corners really well and I can gain ground on most people through the twisties, however, the high power cars just pull away on the straights - making those drivers think they're "faster".

                        To this point, I have only run at the track with the Porsche club. I will be doing a NASA event sometime soon and will have a much wider variety of cars to play with.
