2.0 S14 vs GT3 at the Ring (with lots of airbox sound)

[John]

this is a 30 mb snippet of the AVP m3 at the
Ring (BTW, its running Maxx AN). This shows
how well a 2.0l can keep up with a GT3 race car!
In some places he could push the GT3 off the track
if he wanted to

Is he running a Formula 2 motor?

Nice video,John. He sure gave those GT3's a hard time.
Is that the 24hr race ? What's the spec of the engine, and why go for a 2.0L engine ?

The formula 2 motors were like 340hp and were 2.0 liters, so they may have been running that motor. Just a thought.

Nice video, I thought it seemed familar. An M3 hassling a Porsche and loads of yellow flags. Very much like a regular Tourist driving day at the NS.

John - Do you mind if I post the link on the ringers email list?

[John]

sure, but I cant keep the video linked for too long because it will eat too much bandwidth.
perhaps someone else wants to host it? Ill leave it up for 3-4 days and then unlink it.

if you post to the Ringers list, tell Anders I said hi and I will see him at Easter
He would like this video

[John]

no, it is not a formula 2 motor it is a 2.0l S14.

Can anyone else host it? I missed it :(

[Adrian H]

I can't see it, has the link been taken down or am I missing some software to run it ?

I hope this is the correct vid

[///Mflossin]

airbox sounds great when you can hear it over the brakes. :p

Man do those Porsche's get up in the flats.....

We also played cats and dogs with a GT3 last fall at Mt Tremblant, and it was a blast. The driver makes a huge difference.
Great vid and sound. Seems like it want to rev forever.

[John]

No Uwe, that is not the right video.
what you show is the start of the VLN race where
there is lots of traffic, the vid I showed is 52 minutes
into the race with not much traffic and the s14 is
still on 2 GT3s...

It is only too slow on the straights. It is faster in the corners
1990 technolgoy vs. 2005 technology.

I unlinked the vid because it was generating a lot of
bandwidth. if someone wants it email me privately.

I can host it for people if you send it to me.

I would love to see it!
