Such an amazing group of cars, so freakin lucky. All I get, is to cruise around with my buddy and his new TTS .
Interesting description of your race with the MP, how does your car (being modded) compare with the 2RS? Also do you have any suspension mods? If so how does handling feel compared to the 2RS?

I got to ride in a 2RS with Hurley Haywood doing hotlaps at the porsche driving school. It was amazing, a few months later I got my GT2. Now that my car has suspension and performance mod, the shop says it is as fast and handles better than the 2RS. But I have no 2RS around to compare it too.

I usually run my car with 91octane (crap), at the moment I have 70% of the tank with 100octane - such an amazing difference in power. Went to pass a SUV last night on a 2 lane road, gave it a tad more than half throttle in 2nd gear (going 30mph) and the back end broke loose and I would of slid right into the SUV if the traction control wasn't on. Then as I got clear of it I gave it half throttle again, and traction control kept me from sliding off the road into the ditch. I am usually very aware of throttle input and what will happen, but this race gas is out of control!

I've never had a proper run with a 2RS, but once on the track it seemed like I was gaining on it in the straight (video is on my YouTube channel). Honestly the only mod I'm interested in is the RSS Tarmac setup but I'm worried that there isn't a shop who can do the install and calibration properly.

High octane gas makes a difference. My car gained over 12whp from race gas alone on the dyno. I didn't have any traction issue against the McLaren, the grip was great on the PSS!
