    The first time i got to drive on a race track i was 27, and it made me realize i should have built a cheap week-end racer long ago. I was disappointed in myself for not trying it sooner, because it felt so at home and my misconception that i needed a fast sports car to have fun and learn the sport/craft had held me back from experiencing and learning first hand something i've always loved (cars and racing).
    my advice for anyone who is into driving or cars is, find a cheap ass car (i recently built a 93 integra cheaply with a friend for this purpose) and do some basic stuff (sport or race brake pads, high temp brake fluid, grippy tires if you can afford them, and build from there slowly, no rush to have a fully built car from the get go) and allow yourself to get seat time, nothing beats it, and i guarantee you, you'll ask yourself why you didn't do it sooner.

      Yeah I've heard that alot that the best track car and actually can drive better than a fast sports car is a miata. Theyre nimble, handle great, light, and relatively cheap. Ive seen videos of them out driving lambos on a track. An integra would also be a great car.

      Yeah. It's insane that out of literally every premium "sports" sedan, only 1 has a manual with the big engine, and REAR WHEEL DRIVE ONLY :). Mercedes E-class? Nope. BMW m5 or 550? Nope. Audi? (Don't care anyways) Ford doesn't make a rwd v8 car. Lexus only has autos too. They single-handedly won this market segment for those who like having involvement, and a v8, but need 4 doors for business reasons.

      Well Cadillac set the standard for luxury cars in the way that it's kind of the car that sets the bar for what a Luxury car should be. Less it's about saving money, more is about money being no object but if you want a Luxury car that is everything a Luxury car should be at the price you would expect Cadillac was the brand that met that expectation. Are they that now? I don't know, I guess that's up to the buyer to decide.

Track days aren’t expensive, tires last at least 9 or 10 track days, brakes twice that, just change the fluid every couple months. Do like 5 or 6 events a year, it’s pretty inexpensive.

    I used to own a Boxster Turbo S and I had to get rid of it. Driving it on the street was an exercise in frustration. It was so capable but the second you started to test it’s limits you were quickly into very illegal speeds. A couple of grand a few days a year spent on track days is so much more fun. You get to let the cars sing and do what they were built for. Way more fun, cheaper and you keep your licence intact.

The BMW events get pro drivers. One of my instructors was racing the weekend before at VIR for the Factory Team and have the whole session. I highly recommend the BMW events. I did a event at my local track Road Atlanta in the 2016 M cars. I did 165 on the back straight fully unlocked in the m5 competition they let me drive. It was the first time I ever had felt carbon ceramic brakes unbelievable. The instructor was like please slow down 😜. I hope to do the Porsche experience maybe in a few years since I’m here in the Atlanta area. Anyways I’m glad you got the road course bug now 👍🏻

All in all for a car that (modded) has been 12.7xs in the quarter , and places consistently in the top 10s at the goodguys sunday autocrosses (beating out all the late model camaros, challengers, chargers, and mustangs) it has been a great car.

    That's the reason why my last new car was a Ford Fiesta ST. It was one of the least expensive "performance" cars, the suspension is great but it's not so fast that driving at 7/10ths isn't possible on the street. It's near perfect for autocross which is probably the cheapest motorsport there is and it was also great on The Horse Thief Mile which is a tight, technical track with lots of corners but the track days aren't terribly expensive there.
    The car is fast enough to get you in to tremendous legal troubles on the street and fun enough that you'll be tempted to drive like that but it's also a pretty useful daily driver with 4 doors, fold down rear seats and the hatch.
    It's hard to add more useable power without a turbo swap and that gets pretty expensive (tunes increase low end torque which mostly makes wheel spin) but the thing I want most on mine is better brakes because fade becomes an issue on tight tracks and Autocross layouts with a lot of braking. Once I have a machine shop to make some rotor hats and caliper brackets, I know the parts I want to reduce unsprung weight, increase cooling, increase swept area without spending a huge fortune and still fitting under my light weight 16" wheels and BFG Rivals (stock is 17" and about 8lbs heavier per wheel with a very short sidewall). A LSD is another improvement because the traction control uses the ABS to stop tire slip so letting the diff do that will reduce the load on the brakes...
    If you do it all, big turbo, ethanol, diff, brakes and maybe some suspension work, you can get a 400hp monster that looks like an economy car with a set of rims. If you make some of the parts yourself and do the installs, that's probably $9-12,000 plus the car which is probably 1/4 the price of the Cadillac you liked but much more fun and useable on the street, good at autocross and fun at cheaper track days.

      EVs can be fun, I think they will catch on in motorsports once they improve the charging situation at racetracks and figure out how to make them lightweight to avoid chewing up tires. I suspect in another 30 years the motorsports enthusiasts will think about gas/diesel engines the same way we think of carburetors and distributors today; interesting history and fun to see but not the best way to go fast. I'm a fan of the recent Mazda hybrid patent with a couple of EV motors, a small/cheap/light battery, and a rotary engine, hopefully that gets built.

    Hey Rob. You need to work on your seating position for driving track. It looks like the wheel was too far away, as in your arms were too straight. It may have been the camera angle, but your elbows should be nearly 90 degrees when at the 9 and 3 position on the wheel.
    The brakes may only appear better due to more power assist. I can't say for sure as I have never driven either your cars or the Cadillac. And if the brakes are that bad on your cars, you might want to remedy that situation. I have often wished that you would put as much effort into the way your cars handle as you do for the power output. I'm sure they would go good down that straight road you showed at the beginning of the video, but I prefer cars with a little less power, a lot less weight, and the ability to dance down a twisty mountain road.
    Here's hoping that you get hooked on driving something other than just a straight line.
    Cheers

  • @Levibetz
    @Levibetz Před 2 lety +2

    I know people shit on it, but I've gotta recommend autocross for seat time and learning to drive at the limit. You have so much more fear on a track where there is real risk if you spin or go off. Autocross allows you to slam the car right up to limit, spin, whatever. It's very little about line and most about braking, accelerating, shifting, and getting the car turned effectively. Plus it's far less expensive! If you take your CTS-V and tire it up within stock class rules, it'd be a good way to judge how your driving is progressing.

    • @Levibetz
      @Levibetz Před 2 lety +1

      Or run the FC, autocross is also EXCELLENT for dialing in a project car. It's low speed, not crashy, and you're not out tons of cash if you break down and miss most the event. And by 'tired up' I mean ""200tw"" tires like the falken rt660.
