Too quiet ? Humm ... the Corsa exhaust is just perfect for me, noisy when it needs to be ... at WOT.

BTW, with this exhaust, I barely passed the 100dB noise limit alowed on the track: it was at 98dB. The noise is measured 10 feet behind the car at still position when reving at 3/4 of the redline. On the track, the limit is 92dB but I never found out what mine was; it was obviously below since I wasn't black flagged.

Makes me want to go there too.
I think it's a 6 hour drive to get there though.

Yeah, you could have the best car but not be a good driver and get passed by a Corolla . I had a little more experience than the guy in the M3 but still, I'm surprised how the S197 handle with basic suspension mods

I'm a member of the BMW Club actually. This was my third time at that track. I also went to a more technical and harder to learn track that is north west of Ottawa ... lots of blind apexes and decreasing radius curves; it's called Calabogie. You can check out my videos in my signature

Nicely done man, great vid and I saw a few times where you could have out braked him and taken in the curve if you were seriously racing.

Thanks! That is one aspect the M3 driver was lacking a little; he was braking too early and not agressive enough in the twisties. He also had a little difficulty in the right-left chicane after the long downhill curve.

Anyhoo, it was quite fun to have someone challenging me a little. There was also the orange Elise with 275 RWHP but we didn't get a chance to hook up

That'd be fun, but sadly I think that lil 275hp go-cart has a real advantage.

I agree with you but again the Mustang driver was a little more aggressive & experienced . It would have been a nice battle nevertheless ... much more than that red Z06 I passed
