Re: Project Black ValentNine AKA DSM9.0

Nice post and sweet video. I'm surprised you let the gas get that low, haha. But I guess my first time on track I didn't realize how much gas I was using and got down to low fuel light at the end of a session, then it made sense. Buddy of mine here says he uses about 3 gallons per 20 minutes on E85, crazy.

Those maroon calipers means you're using your car like Mitsubishi intended.

Great to hear you are enjoying the car, looks like you took some pretty good lines in the autox and road course, I like the instructor video at the end, they help a ton, so worth it to have a few ride-a-long laps. Did they suggest you go to 5th for the main straights? And then 4th for the slower parts of the course? I was always shifting from 3rd to 4th in the little straights, and then back to 3rd before the corners; maybe it makes sense just to stay in 4th (at least to save the transmission).

Josh, I think the classes are just general car groupings, and then fastest time wins. No PAX timing like autox, but street cars don't compete with the full race cars. Classes:

N/A class: 4 cyl, street tires, interior, etc.
Super Street class: STOCK turbo, STOCK cams, STOCK internals, STOCK injectors. No vettes, GTR, Viper, 911 GTx, Exige, or other exotics. Street tires, interior, etc
Street Unlimited class: 140+ Treadwear tires, full interior, lights, etc
Full race class: any mods
