Ran a quaffe which worked awesome. Never any wheel spin and I could turn in the parking lot! Oh and it has lasted 9years!
All I have heard is good things about his! I have sent him a PM

Here is a 2 part video of NARRC's sunday ITR/S/A race. Well, only ITA can be seen. Some background, we missed qual on Saturday morning as we slept in with intend (i.e. we pulled into the B&B at 2:30 am the night before... I HATE CT traffic). in the qual race, we started DFL and ended up 9th PIC. By Sunday afternoon, we were 6th PIC running a 2.20.9 which was a personal best for me, but yet 1.6 seconds off pace.
Now to the videos, some excitement at the start. During the first 2-3 laps, the rears were not working. You can see that while going into the carousel, I drift left and the field walks away. I get passed by a yellow/black stripe maita (Kevin Anderson in STL?), which I later pass on the uphill. Brian Blizzard and Jim Alley were battling it out which gave me a chance to pass them within a couple laps. The rest of part 1 is fairly boring until we see Bruce Perry coming up from the rear. He follows me very closely for two laps until I let him pass me and then I trail him. Within 2 laps, he gets squirmy in the bus stop, I pass him and for the rest of the race I chase the leaders, which from time to time come into my view.
The car was great with the new motor and 225/45's though I do need more front chamber, better turn in and a touch more oversteer. More importantly, the driver needs a lot more work I have been out of any significant seat time since NARRCoffs '09. I noticed some classic mistakes: a few early turn-ins, double clutch of the steering wheel, some uber late breaking and at times spending a little too much time looking at my rearview (i.e. Perry) instead of my markers. What I didn't like most of all was my inconsistency with regards to certain turns. Sometimes I nailed them, sometimes I didn't. More seat time... enjoy.

You THINK it was awesome because you have nothing to compare it to. LOL Just remember, you have a little bit more power than the Audi so getting the power down is even trickier.
I ran a Quaffe in my GTi and would spin the wheels all the way up the hill out of 3 at NHMS.

VERY cool idea to mount a "video" rear view mirror!
