your the Big Man
Like I alway say it not the tools it the person using the tools.
So your the king of GTR up there.
Maybe now they will sponsor you in parts

Nah....the 1st placed GTR beat me by a good second and a half.....i think I can cut another second if was given a clear track....

but what I definately need is R tires...


Now I am really tempt to get a E46 M3 CSL for a track car...

Cheers,
Michael

just came back from the cayenne test drive.

tiff needell was right, it understeers much more than the x5 but I felt the steering was sharper and initial turn in is more accurate. overall though, I think the x5 is much better.
cool bmw +1 point

your current tyres are definitely too spongy after warmed up, I could feel it even iin the passenger seat. when I tracked, I used p0 before and suffered from the same problem. e46 m3 is a good choice but if you going to mod it for track, why go for csl, just take things out yourself to make it lighter.
