04 TL Aspec Road Course Video

Just a fun video of my 04 TL ASpec out on the Motorsports Ranch 3.1 mile road course. Was videoed from behind by an Evo. He was waved by at the end but could have passed me at anytime. Wish the video could have sat a little lower to get the whole car in the shoot.

Interesting how much/little lean there was with the ASpec setup (~55k miles on the car already).

It was fun to drive a luxury performance car out there but definitely the FWD made it different to enter and exit the corners.

Very nice, I enjoyed that one. I want to track mine too, and yes the Aspec does reduce the body lean....

MSR in Cresson, TX. Been there!

I will say that it is definitely a fun track especially the 3.1 mile I believe it is. I got to be the first group of cars back in May I think it was to run on the full track. That was fun. My G35 definitely kicked butt.

I would like to give you a little advice though. Make sure you never hit the brakes in a turn like you did in that long fast sweeper near the end of the video. You take that one wide and get near the inner cones and you will come out at the last cone right up against it. You lietrally can floor it through that whole turn if you do it right.

Also you should have let the EVO pass you a long time ago and you were holding up traffic. Surprised you didn't get black flaged.

Thanks for the feedback! It was the 3.1 mile course.

That was a good catch on me tapping the brakes around that sweeping corner. It was probably the only time I did it through all the sessions.

It was just an open track, non-race day. The Evo guy was following me on purpose to video from behind. As you may have seen in the beginning I let the S2000 pass (in the right spot) to get setup with the Evo behind me. No other cars were held up, we had maybe 5-6 cars total out there.

There are more stills of that day out on our website... www.acuraclubdfw.com ... or http://www.acuraclubdfw.com/e107_plu...g2_itemId=1560
