Default IS-F kills Aston Martin V8 Vantge and battles Porsche Carrera 4S at A.M.P !!!!

Got to take the F to AMP this weekend. My wife had to work so I missed the morning sessions but was allowed to run the last 2 sessions for only $80 !! Had a great time and battles 2 very nice sports cars. The Porsche Carrera 4S and Aston Martin V8 Vantage. I was drooling when I saw them in the larking lot I didn't think that the F would be able to hang with these cars .....BUT IT DID. In fact I was able to run very evenly with the Porsche and even had it on the straights. In the case of the Aston, well let's just say he was delicious kill. Sweet looking car to chase and surprisingly the F has bigger ***** on the straights and is dead even in the corners . The Porsche was on slicks and the Aston was on street tires like me.

I think this is some of my best driving and I got to do it at my favorite track with 2 monsters.


I think you guys are going to dig these


VIDEO 1 :ASTON MARTIN KILL . FORWARD TO 7:05 FOR THE SHOW !!



VIDEO 2 : CARRERA 4S BATTLE . FORWARD TO 7:40 ( START )

THE PORSCHE CARRERA 4S BATTLE CONTINUES FROM 0:00

Haha , Thanks Rafi. I'l keep them coming. Next one is a new track they are running again. Its been off the grid since 2012. The photographer told me at AMP that the photos are going to be insane

Thanks bud. My car is stock brakes, stock suspension ( minus the F sport rear sway bar), and the engine is stock. Driver mod is the best mod. And the most fun.

lol Thanks buddy !!! I appreciate it. I think the Aston and I were even in the corners but I had his *** on the straights. With the Porsche he had me in the corners with that light weight and AWD to boot but on the straights I could easily catch up. Im so happy that the temps are finally below 100 here in AZ and we can play without oil temp lights flashing on the dash and tires melting off the rims lol The next 7 months will be amazing weather for the track . I am super excite for the next track day. Already registered and set !! BTW these frink 255/295 AD08R have added so much speed to my corners that I can visibly see it in the video. Its like night and day and much quieter without the squealing ( or tires talking as an instructor once described it to me )

Awesome run! Hanging with the Porsche was a good race for sure. That track looks fun.

Very cool!

Hoping to get mine on track next year to represent!

Have to say the Vantage driver wasn't taking very clean lines?! His braking seemed quite erratic as well? Guess this was a general session with all levels allowed?

You clearly know your F though.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers.

Don't I know it!

Trouble is that will mean yet more money I need to find to pay for more track orientated mods! Lol.

Saying that, the current setup will probably do quite well I think.

Got the F sport rear sway bar, BC BR coilovers with Swift springs, RR-Racing USRS, RR-Racing AOS, Cusco front strut brace.....

Hoping to add LSD, two piece front discs, and headers.

Just need to win the lottery or rob a bank to pay for it all!

Looks like lots of fun!
