Cool Video from recent road course fun with the CO VCA

I have finally put the various footage sources together. The event was 2 weeks ago and I got to drive a Gen4 ACR. Altought that part is not on the video, all I can say is wow! It feels so light and nimble compared to my GTS, and those brakes . I want one. Thanks RJ for letting me experience your beast where it was meant to be enjoyed.

Anyway, here is the video on YouTube

Yes, there is a noticable difference between the 13 and 14" brakes. I opted for the Roe racing lightweight rotors (comparable to the 09 ACR brakes). I also have Eibach lowering springs.

Although my car is certainly not a Gen 4 ACR I've modified it to be what I want. Depending on your personal taste maybe you want to upgrade your Gen 2, or have you decided that you'll need to purcahse a Gen4???

The Venom controller needs to be cracked before we can start adding superchargers to the Gen4. I can't wait to see what going to happen then!

Thanks for the vid. Looks like a fun track but where are the walls? Needs more walls. How do you separate the men from the boys without walls?

Bob, pads did fine this time.

Chuck, it is a new track and was built with extra safety in mind, so no walls, other than the front straight where spectators hang out.

Ted, I've already upgraded to SRT brakes and just got the lighter SRT wheels. I am definitely keeping my GTS, and if the stock market retraces to it's Oct 2007 highs, then a Gen4 ACR is in the picture. Now what are the odds of that happening?
