Thanks for the nice words guys!
I usually post pics and videos showing my great talent ( ). Allow me this time to share a complete miss: The Brembo front BBK and the Toyo's 888 provide a lot more grip and braking power on the track but more is not infinite... I started to brake later and later before the hairpin at Barber until I ended up slamming the brakes at '1'. Not good (enough)!
Lesson learned, no damage to the car, only to my self esteem

Again, the 991 is a very forgiving car. I got it (slightly) off track 3 times and each time the recovery was painless.

Thanks guys, you are too are too indulgent. I think you are right about the soundtrack Chuck (there must be some sync issue) as I slammed the brakes at the '1' sign and we should not hear power after that

Are you running with the nannies on or off?

My beloved car will already reach her 10,000 miles anniversary tomorrow.

I should buy her something on that occasion

Another quick video of a SM_ATL's 991 catching up with its predecessor

I'm also going to deduct that you are the author/editor of the video clips we have been enjoying here... if so I have to say your production values are getting better and better (really liking the text and choice of music).
Next thing you know you'll be editing to the music doing color corrections and stacking your audio channels.
I own a TV Production company but I started with doing clips just like you, nice to see.
Good job!

Back to your 356 pic, you posted "I was just out of Officer Candidate School and headed for flight school", but maybe I got it wrong.
Also, I do not know why my computer changed "You are" into "You ate" in my post
Sorry if I misunderstood you!
