Went out this week to a local road track. and felt like sharing a few thoughts which some may find of value.
The GT was fabulous and the Bridgestone re05 performed incredibly. The track is quite harsh and even after about 40 laps / 4 laps at a time(1.3 miles a Lap) the tires held up brilliantly without much wear which was impressive. Other vehicles included a tt porsche and an ACR viper. What a thrill. Gt's out right straight line speed was immense. The temperature still went up to 220 on the engine. One can see why a transmission cooler could be of value.
Regarding the Bridgestone tires the thing they don't talk about in magazines is break away characteristics of a tire. Bridgestone were progressive in their break away nature allowing you to explore the limits safely.
without incident. If you are looking for a street tire with the very occasional use at a track I recommend them. The GT was so much fun at high speeds.
