Odds are against you. I haven't seen anyone post a time at Laguna that looks to be close enough to say they are getting out of the car anything close to what Randy was able to...
Randy is a very, very nice guy. True car enthusiast, Very approachable. I've talked to him at a Lemons race and have seen him around a few other events talking to who ever. |

I am surprised he didn't go with the SS 1LE, he raves about that car.

That's very cool. Congrats Randy.
For anyone who hasn't seen it here is Randy flogging a GEN6 SS 1LE around Laguna Sega: https://youtu.be/xjKjnbOsSEs Would like to see him run the car at a little bit of a slower track and see how it's times compare to other cars. Still I remember watch a video of a FGT barely breaking a 1:40 at LS probably 12+ years ago. (This was back in the Streetfire days) everyone was so excited that a 6 figured, 550 BHP, mid-engine supercar could manage a 1:40 at LS. They were claiming that if you can manage a 1:40 at LS then you had an extremely capable machine with a stellar driver. Now a decade later a Camaro SS with 95 less HP will easily best that time with a pro level driver. How things have changed with the handling capabilities of American muscle cars. |

I thought there was a video of him running a 17 SS 1LE aroumd Willow Springs? I think MT was comparing it to a C7 GS or something. I might be wrong because I sure can't find it.

He did run one around Big Willow. 1:28.xxx. He matched the GT350R time exactly. I've searched for the video but have never found it. The time was mentioned in a MT ZL1 review and I saw it posted on their lap board when they were reviewing another car. Damn it I wanna see that Big Willow lap, get an idea of his speeds in the corners so I can work my way up to them.
