My videographer wife punched up the video a bit.

Great video John!  You are the only person I know that has the radio blaring in their race car. 😀

Nice car, nice driving, thanks for posting.  Wish I had that kind of acceleration!

Haven't been to Sebring yet, really jelly.  We're supposed to be seeing more snow tomorrow.  🙁

Thanks guys. @trakmnky Sorry to hear about your weather. This is the time of year when Florida weather really shines, so to speak. 🙂

I'm working on carrying more speed through the turns -- there's several seconds a lap still available. I did manage a massive 100mph spin at T1 that got everybody excited. I need to learn to make that turn at that speed without spinning. 🙁

The acceleration is insane! wow.  The 911s and ZL1 look slow as you come up on them so fast.  Most of the time you short shift it, geez.

@tmpoquette Yes, I surprise a lot of GT cars with that acceleration. I'm running in the video with my RPB engine right now which is the 2.8l with custom cams. The RPA engine is a bit slower, with maybe 30-40 hp difference.

Short shifting is my way of attempting to extend engine life, lol. I hope it works!

great video!  Just got a SR3 ,hoping to bring it to Sebring soon.  Been using iRacing to practice on a SR8, trying to get speeds up in the turns.  And great background music!
