Default Went to the track for the first time in my 2011!

Took my 2011 3.7 to the track, all I have performance wise so far is C&L CAI and FRPP 1.5" lowering springs.

Here is the video! I had an amazing time and will definitely continue this, now I just need to swap the suspension, breaks, and get some real track tires. I ran this on my 19x10 Hankook Evo 12's which handled great for street tires..

Be sure to watch in 1080p HD

It's like go karts for adults, but with your own car and no rear ending your buddy when parking back in the staging area lol.

Bet it was quite the experience out there. Were you pushing the car hard? I'd be afraid of losing control and wrecking my daily driver.

What camera did you use? GoPro? Last time I checked they only took 720 but that was a long time ago.

That's very nice, looks like a blast. I'll definitely be doing that after i get a good job.

However I always prefer engine/track sounds over any music :P

The newer go pros shoot 1080p.


I wanna go to the track so bad but I also want to build a new car first. You guys may laugh but I want a Miata so bad now. After seeing them with 5.0s and LS motors in them they are sick. There are videos of them on youtube pulling on Vipers and Ferraris and they still out handle most cars around the turns

Where is this track? I've seen it several times on Top Gear and other shows and really want to go!

What did you use to edit your video? Right now Im relegated to movie maker.

Fun Video, that is what it's all about! Any surprises while you were out there? Tell us fellow sixxers how she fared? (Are you tuned as well or just CAI?)
