That Viper was seriously disappointing...
We ran a 86 GTi this weekend at VIR that was pushing just over 100 hp at the wheels. The driver of the lima bean must just suck. He got school.

That A2 passing the viper has a VR6 motor I believe. But yes, the Viper is very slow for a Viper.

haha, actually he was one of the best stoppers on 5 that day. A lot of people were heating up there brakes to that point, but not usually in the HPDE's, mostly the HC guys. I saw the 6 and the miata in group 2 heating up there brakes enough to get them to glow...craziness.
the way my car looks under braking, you'd think the brakes were on fire :twisted:

wonder what kind of tires the 6 is running... tires are my limit, not brake power (unless of course my pad cracks in half).

or really crappy pads. I've got XP10, RA1's and a 3400lb car and I don't think my rotors get THAT hot!

good pads are exactly why your rotors would get that hot
damn, azenis? he must have been dragging them or something... or the 6 is a pig.

The curb weight of the mazda 6 is 3045 lbs. to 3389 lbs, depending on model and engine. He must have had a good set of pads though b/c he still had stopping power with the rotors glowing.
