This guy is not an enthusiast like us so I don't want to spoke him. My golf pro at my club bought a 545 SMG because I let him drive mine and he loved it, but when I asked him to race he gave me a weird look so I let it drop.
I'm guessing on Ocean Parkway east of the Wantagh Parkway so we can get a top speed run as well.

When is the race? I want to join for some free lunch also 
ocean pkwy in brooklyn is a bad idea... i had a few friends die on ocean pkwy.
Ocean pkwy by jones beach is a safer bet...

Yeah, the best advise it to do some practice run prior the actual race to get yourself familiar with the car. Easy with the throttle in first gear or you will be doing a big one wheeled burn out.

why not get some mods? some simple ones, a sprint booster? I don't know if this will help a lot, but throttle response is better.

This needs to be a mod free race , Car and driver skill....... It will add to the rather interesting banter of the 535 vs 550 debate ..... looking forward to it
