Carbon fibber stick ons... How she look?

[Necromancer]

Exactly.  It's not real fiber so it's a fibber.

Bad angle.  I wanna see the "faster than a Viper/blown Vette/Millenium Falcon" bumper sticker.

[SignOfZeta]

Its not faster than a Viper or a blown Vette, but the driver often is.

Here is a video of a guy with quadruple my horsepower not getting out of my way.

Vampire's Kiss is a good movie, give it a shot
I always thought Cage was a decent actor.  After watching that clip........   I was wrong.

Wait, what?  So the driver of this Vette is out for a Sunday drive, making absolutely no attempt at all at pushing his car to anywhere near it's capabilities and all of the sudden you're Mario Andretti?

Also noted that nowhere in that video are you even coming remotely close to passing that Vette.

[SignOfZeta]

It's a track day, not a race. I can't pass him unless he waves me past, which he obviously should have done. He was faster on the previous lap but he scared himself and slowed down a lot for the next one. This is pretty common for Vette owners. They usually just want a car to brag about but are too scared to actually use it. A qualified C5 or C6 driver is a force to be reckoned with, but they are rare. The local Vette club doesn't even let non-Vette owners run with them, IMO it's because they are afraid the MGs and Integras will make them look bad.

BTW, I didn't even mention my car until Sticky besmirched it by calling it uglier than a Saturn. I never said I was a racing master or anything so don't make it out like I was bragging or anything. I'm just saying that I'm faster in my 100HP Miata than most guys in 400 HP Vettes. Seeing Miatas outrun vastly superior cars is a common site at track days and autocross events.  If you look at my other videos from the same day you'll see my lap times are much faster than when I'm stuck behind this slow poke.

So in other words, the car does what it's supposed to do.

[Necromancer]

That's common with Miatas.  They're not 'manly' enough cars for regular joes, so the guys that do buy 'em are getting 'em for their capabilities, which they know how (or learn how) to exploit.

So in other words, the car does what it's supposed to do.

Uh, okay.  Are the other cars naughty and not doing what they're told?

It's not a race but your boasting as if you could fly by him based on your driving skill. Had you been up on his ass, he may have waved you by, but you wern't so why would he?

Having raced with my dad in his Vettes, I can tell you, based on each Vette and it's power, it can be scary as all hell. The power is amazing and hard to keep the wheels on the ground coming out of turns.  Not really a problem you're going to have in a Miata.

The local Vette club doesn't even let non-Vette owners run with them, IMO it's because they are afraid the MGs and Integras will make them look bad.

Why the hell would they? It's a Corvette club.

I'd take your car over his any day of the week.

I never said I was a racing master or anything so don't make it out like I was bragging or anything.

You were attempting to brag about your driving skill though. You posted a video of "track day" where you clearly say it isn't a race yet tout how you are held back from passing a Vette that you aren't even close to passing.  I just found that amusing.

[Necromancer]

Sounds like you don't know what a track day is.  You don't race other cars (just yourself more or less), but you're not supposed to hold up traffic either.

I understand what track day is.  What I dont get is where in the video the other car holding him up? Looks like he does pull up close for just a few seconds and at 1:21 of the video the Vette notices he is there and steps on it out of the corner sliding the ass end.  After that the Vette just keeps it's distance, Zeta is never really held up.

[SignOfZeta]

I shouldn't have gotten into a discussion about cars and racing with people who have no understanding of such things. I apologize.

If you want to feel what I feel go to a Playstation 4 forum and start talking about how cool the Dreamcast is. You'll get similarly uninformed discussion.

It's not racing, it's track day.

See.

Zeta my wife and her girls friends just love your car thanks for sharing. Also I was joking around man at the start, never meant this to get so serious but your one serious individual on everything.

If you listen to my car's engine you can tell that I'm lifting way early for the corners and sometimes not even having to brake. The Vette had already been blue flagged. Passing in this run group is only allowed on the back straight and the start/finish straight and in those areas you can see he pulled ahead. There is no point in driving closer to him when he's already ignoring a blue flag. If had had forced a pass I would be been banned from the track. You clearly don't understand how this stuff works.

Like I said, if you watch my other videos, the ones where no one is in front of me, I'm much faster. Even the one where I'm held up by another Miata I'm able to go faster. I'm not bullshitting you or bragging or whatever. I'm an extremely modest person. That dude in front of me was slow and noobish. Notice his rear getting squirrely near the end when there was no real reason for it? He sucks. I don't know why you are being so confrontational with me about it. 

As for the Vette club thing, this video was shot on an Alfa Romeo track day (or possibly an open day, I can't remember). The I've also run with the Lotus club. AFAIK every club in Michigan allows OT motors except for the Corvette club. They're dicks. Nearly every Vette owner is a dick. It's the kind of car a dick is attracted to.
