SS-III vs ST205 on track Options

[Edophus]

Hi folks thought you might like to see this, some footage thats pretty fun from my last track time, in my ss3 following an st205, my ss3 is fully stripped out with no engine mods, i didnt see the st205 afterwords although i spoke with the owner but never found out what mods he had, but according to my friend who owns an st205 aswell who was there it was running more power than his and he has hks induction/exhaust.

He gets a tiny bit sideways, looked fun

nice driving in the 202. Clearly the weight reduction in thr 202 is a big advantage, big enough to ou weigh the awd turbo powa, possibly, 205s are a 13 second car factory, i doubt a ss3 could get a 15.

clearly the 202 was heaps smoother, hitting the apexs, the 205 driver was all over the show, taking corners wide etc. good driving makes a mc massive differance to times.

the long and the short of it is that shouldnt have happened, at least we they ate the scooby snacks.

st205's get great 1/4 mile times partly down to the 4wd knocking seconds off at launch time, once rolling my ss3 being much lighter there really isnt anything in it, stock an ss3 wont crack 15 seconds but i think mine would, with a trap speed over 100mph hopefully!, my old corolla managed bang on 15 seconds at 99mph and my ss3 is faster once rolling, its never been a great car off the line.

The funny thing is the st205 would need to find 5-6 seconds a lap, as i was on average 5-6 seconds a lap slower than i'd managed there before with a car some 100kg + heavier, as i'd made some adjustements that shifted to much weight back over the rear wheels and i was getting loads of understeer, and i was trying a different rear wing out, that for sure made the rear very planted but was costing me about 15mph top speed down the straight.

I think i'll have to rope my freind and his st205 into a drag race and see which one is quicker

oh and thanks for all the comments about my driving chaps!
