(intense music)
- We are at Streets of Willow
and we are doing Show Car Shootout.
- Weather's cold, the wind could be better
but goals for are just try to go faster.
Keep having fun and keep the car on track.
- I'm in a 1991 NSX
This is now the fourth competition I've done
with Super Street and Eurotuner and all of them
so probably is a good time.
I just want to have fun maybe set a decent lap time
and hope that the car sticks together,
doesn't break (laughs).
- Started life out as a 135, we call it the 1M club,
it's quite a beast.
From there we realized we really wanted
to do something special,
and the owner Marco, he's really put a lot of energy into it
and it's not got a S65,
the BM3, the E92.
(engine revving)
- We're in a 2006 Honda S2000
it's probably tracked about once a year.
This year we put a K24 in first time on the track.
- It's supercharged, it's got custom wheels that we make,
and then coilovers, Voltex Arrows.
- There's some pretty fast competition here,
luckily I know most of them so it's a lot of fun.
A lot of the guys I'm out there competing with,
they're really good dudes.
Very fast and some seriously fast cars.
There's a R32 GTR which is really cool.
A Supercharged S2000, some really, really great cars.
A Case Series S2000.
Some serious machinery out there
and hopefully I can edge out in front.
- We finished the car at six in the morning today.
Right now we have to lower the boost,
because we have over boost problems
about 420 horsepower.
Engine's fully built, upgraded turbos.
It should be up over 500.
- All I did before was car show,
it's actually my first time tracking my car
and feels pretty good.
I drive an Evo X Lans full of ver-us
with a charged up fender white body T37B mark two.
Wrapped continental tires two 65 40s.
Really competitive, I see the time it's crazy.
I see the 120, 130.
- My car is not the most competitive car track wise
But they did some turbo upgrades,
they did a Tomy Turbo upgrade, Tomy Exhaust, downpipe
Buddy Club Coilovers, Volk Racing T37s,
and the Voltex 190.
- Competition is stiff but we have Ramiro out there
we have a couple other good drivers
and it's a lot of fast cars.
We could use a little bit of work in the brakes
but that's about it.
- It's a lot of fun here just to be a part of this event.
In the car show you just have to park,
but over here you just have to drive it and push the limit.
- We just want to have fun,
we do at least one track day a month.
So we're just here to take the (engine drowns out speaker).
- I brought my 2010 Nissan 370Z.
It's nitro-aspirated so not too much horsepower.
I think I mod the car
more than I actually drive it on the track.
It has potential but I'm definitely holding the car back.
This time around the tires are a lot better.
I really think cars handling a lot better,
but they still have a lot to learn.
- Today we are running
the Continental ExtremeContact Sports.
A few years ago we ran DWs and these things
are a little quicker.
A lot of lateral grip, very surprising.
They feel really nice.
- There are 340 treadwear but they grip a lot more
like a 200 treadwear.
I came in maybe expecting to have to fight the braking
and mid corner grip,
but overall the braking is actually really, really good.
It's way better then the DW,
they made huge improvements on that tire.
And the overall cornering grip is excellent,
the car really sticks.
It blows my mind that these are 340 treadwear.
It's really impressive.
- The size I'm running is a 265 40 18.
For the treadwear it's amazing tire, it's very competitive.
It's a couple seconds off of our compound tire.
Bang for buck in my opinion.
- It's been quite a revelation because
the old DW was definitely struggled on track.
This tire is now right in the realm,
it's quite a solid tire.
We're going to head out for one more session
as the track cools down,
and hope to get into the 22.
Which would be pretty awesome.
(engine revving)
(intense orchestral music)
- We're at the World Motorsport Wind Tunnel Dyno,
we're going to see what kind of power these cars make.
Everything from this S2000 to a GTR to 370Z.
- I'd like to thank all the competitors for coming out.
Everyone had a blast,
love to thank Continental Tire for letting us use
their new ExtremeContact Sport tire.
If you want to see results go check ou Super Street online
to see a future issue of the magazine.
- So this car focused more on the aesthetics of it.
Got a lot of the parts I wanted to,
while still keeping it daily drivable
and somewhat quick on a race track.
However, you still have a show car
and run competitive lap times and look cool,
which is way more important than going fast.
We've done Wekfest San Jose, Street Neos.
We've been to the Eibach Meet and
Joey Lee's The Chronicles year ate-mate
So gone to quite a few shows, quite a few meets.
I've been in the Cory Rad Booth and the Hemos Garage Booth
and pretty much all those events.
Thanks to those guys for having me out there.
- We've done quite a few different on track things
as well as off track.
Second place in show at Monterey Car Week
and quite a few awesome little events.
It's a little windy and it's a little chilly
so we were hoping for a little quicker
but got NSX which is wicked fast
that we've been going back and forth with
so definitely great competition.
- Currently I'm in the lead.
I think it's the fastest time
of the day of all the events so far.
So hopefully it stays that way.
Wanted to go for one more session
to see if I could go a little bit faster
and after that just hang out.
I'm at one 24 six.
The competition is good,
on track I'm doing a little bit better than I thought
considering the car's first time out.
So we made a few adjustments to to its suspension
and I think we have one more session
and we're going to try to get few more tenths off that.
- Just hanging in there with like NSXs and GTRs
a couple seconds off.
So hopefully we can shave a little more time
as the day goes on.
- I'm looking forward to doing this as many years as I can.
I mean, hopefully bring out more cars do FF Battle,
Show Car Shootout, and whatever else you guys might have.
- I've done FF Battle, FR Shootout,
Tuner GP, and now Show Car Shootout.
So I hope to do more of them.
I'm hoping to come next year.
My car's actually,
we're kind of done with what we wanted to do
with the Stock NSX so now we're going to go
pretty radical with it and change a quite of few things.
Still keep it a street car,
but kind of like
the maximum you can go with a street car.
So I'd like to come back next year with the same car
but with a whole new list of modifications.
- I mean I love this event,
it's always one of the highlights of the year
to come to the Super Street Shootout.
So hopefully next year I'll have a monster car
I'll be able to win it.
