Default Lexus ISF full bolt ons at the Track.
So attended local SCCA Track Night at local track Pitt Race which is 2.8 miles with 19 corners. This was my first time at track and chased down multiple Cars including a race prepared vette! This run was on my Ventus V12 street tires and I forgot to bump up air pressure.

Good times and in the words of my fellow drivers the sound of the F with the Bazooka system is "biblical"

Wow that does sound biblical, is the Bazooka exhaust a hook up to your Joe Z exhaust?

I basically copied the bazooka with a piece of 2.5" piping welded to the axle back tubes and put on a dual outlet tip in place of the mufflers.

Curious as to how much gas you burn through in a typical 20 min session on this particular track?? By the way the video looked like it was a blast!

Well I was on track for three 20 minute hot sessions and two 20 minute parade laps and went through about half a tank approximate.

That's not bad, for some reason I thought it might of been worse than that.

Awe man, you missed out on the F's full potential. Take the plunge and flip that gear shift to M. You would have passed that 'Vette 3 laps earlier.

She really is a different beast in Sport-M. Are you hooked or what!

Looks like a ton of fun! Especially blowing by all those other cars.

WOT sounds great!
