Nice pics. I fo you looked next door I was working with Irish Mikes Racing Impreza. I have some more pictures of the C-Class. I was able to get a courtesy look under the hood and and at the chasis and suspension set up. Believe me when I tell you that it has very little in common with a stock C-230 other than the shell.

Lockhart did pretty well but Scott was about two seconds faster in the other C coupe.

Unfortunately for us after getting the Ipreza dialed in and dropping out lap times by 15s in the 3 days of testing we got put into the wall at turn three on the first lap by a Mazda. The impact broke the steering linkage and sent Mike into the tires.

Look for us at Atlanta at the end of next month for the Touring Class invitational and and we will be bringing the Irish Mike's/MRP 190E-16vlv for the Pro-IT race.

I will put my pics as well.

Hey sorry we missed you guys. We will be there at the end of next month. Did you see the Corvette Powered CTS-V kill the rest of the field. I know this is a Mercedes Forum but they did dominate.


Cheers


Cardude,

Cardude,

Thanks for the great pics....I saw that same silver W124 Renntech at Amelia Island the weekend before. Very sharp!

Yeah the CTS-V was amazing. Full throttle through turn 17, the car never looked like it slowed down. I still think they were sand bagging the cars. There is no way Pilgram would have been able to get past 28 cars, the whole field, after stalling if they were not to catch the other identical A.G. CTS-V. The math doesn't add up. He was pulling 2:10 in a 3.7 mile 17 turn course to catch the leader for a 1 - 2 Cadilac finish. Those are getting close to ALMS/GTS time slips.

mbracer, Are you still selling the adjustable camber arms for W124s?




Cardude,

Yeah, an amazing race for Cadillac ... not a big fan of that Marque, but you can't argue with the results. The CTS-Vs SPANKED the field. I could not stop watching the race on TV - each lap was more impressive than the last.

Well, bravo Cadillac! :p


Yes, mbracer, are you selling adjustable W124 camber links?

Cardude,

Update to the Super Caddy

SPEED GT – Cadillac Hit with “Competition Adjustments”
Written by: Eric Prill
Topeka, Kan. – 4/2/2004



The new Cadillac SPEED GT entry proved a little too good on its debut at Sebring, and will now have to race with a series of new restrictions (LAT photo).

SCCA Pro Racing Ltd., organizer and sanctioning body of the SPEED World Challenge Championship, announced today several competition adjustments for its SPEED GT category cars.

The biggest changes affect the Cadillac CTS-V, which finished first and second in its debut at Sebring March 19. SCCA announced an adjusted base weight for the car, a different air restrictor, a lower rev limit, a weight distribution limit, the mandatory use of a Tremec synchromesh gearbox and a freeze on air intake assembly development.

“After reviewing the race tapes and data from Sebring, it was very clear that something needed to be done to bring the Cadillac CTS-V in line with the rest of the field,” SCCA Pro Racing Vice President and General Manager Mitch Wright said. “The car was new to us, and its potential was clearly underestimated. Our goal is for any well-prepared car, run by an excellent team with excellent drivers, to compete for pole positions, podium finishes and race wins. Adjustments mid-season are not unprecedented, and we believe this adjustment to be necessary in order to maintain that parity at the front of the field.”

When the Cadillac CTS-V next appears at an SCCA SPEED GT race, it will weigh 200 lbs more than Sebring, be restricted 30 percent more on airflow (to a total of 50 percent restriction), have a rev limit of 7000 rpm (900 rpm lower than Sebring) and be limited to a maximum of 49 percent rear weight distribution. The air intake Team Cadillac developed for Sebring will be the system specified on the car’s Vehicle Technical Specifications (VTS) for the remainder of the season.

The car was permitted to run a dog-engagement gearbox for Sebring at a 100-lb penalty, with the stock gearbox required at subsequent races. This ruling has not changed.

Meanwhile, the BMW M3 now will be permitted to stroke its 3.2-liter motor to 3.4 liters, beginning with the next round at Lime Rock Park on the weekend of May 28-31.[
