So you think your fast at your local track?

Watch this guy! Too many people overanalyze their setup when they're not even near the limits. Now on the other hand this guy's a different story.

Wow, it's the fastest C7 Corvette I've seen so far and amazing driving too (serious size of man berries) .. that said, being a race car that can rev up to 7,500 RPM, someone overanalyze the sh.t out of the setup on that car for sure

He’s quite the driver. He made GM look dumb by beating the Camaro GT4.R (Aschenbach at the wheel) at it’s debut at St. Pete. Aquilante drove a GTS-spec Boss 302S.

Him and Phoenix did race a 6th gen Camaro SS briefly in TA4 and T1. The car had a stock engine, trans and diff. Just stripped, caged, coil overs and race brakes. SS 1LE aero.

Amazing driver for sure. He had no problem passing Viper and Corvette too. I wonder what kind of suspension/bushing setup he was running

He ran away with GT2 at the SCCA runoffs this year. FYI - he ran A7's on one side of the car and R7's on the other for the race.

Of course! He's probably one of the fastest drivers I've seen. My point is putting tons of effort, thought process to a setup and being hell of a driver are not mutually exclusive, in fact they're mutually beneficial . I think we all agree with "tighten the nut behind the wheel" it's by default of course, almost a cliché on all the online car discussion forums

Him launching off the curbs and obliterating the 6th camaros in a solid rear car was absolutely hilarious
