No one known. Young former sts Protege5 driver. Car was brand new. No development AFAIK and on the oem tires. I was being lazy, complacent ran on my street star specs (100+ temps). He ended up about .8 ahead of me. We had several 350's in attendance, no comparison in how it launched and went through fast open slaloms. I watched on car video of his run. Good solid lines. 370 was much quicker down the fast slaloms and looked very stable. The 8 was better at the turnarounds and sweepers.

If I were a rich jacket hunter.......

I think he is having sticker shock at the price of the 19" tires and wheels. (much less shocks.....)

In addition. Actually two R8's. One as a daily driver to later trade in on a R10.

Good luck with those 295s!
