Autocross video of Strano Performance Parts FR-S, first time out.

[Sam Strano]

FWIW, inside video is not very helpful. Because the car has small windows most cameras will adjust to the darker inside and wash out the the stuff outside on any sort of bright day.

As for cameras on the roof or the nose. Useless for learning anything. I run the camera where I do for two reasons.

1. I can watch how the car responds to my inputs since I can see both myself and the front wheel in the shot.

2. I can make sure I'm not making stupid mistakes when driving.

Is it the most sexy video ever? Nope, and there are folks and shops that are a lot more "production savvy" than I am in that regard. This is just sort of me. Not real flashy, but it gets the job done without a lot of fluff.

Wow you drug this out from the past.

Not a lot to add. The C-street setup just works they way it's supposed to. Finished 2nd in RTR @ nationals in 2013. With the full move to C-Street this year twins weren't as high up in street overall but the fastest ones are on Koni's and a front bar.

STX on the other hand, that's the place for the twins. Andrew and Annie both won STX/STXL respectively in Annie's car which was based on mine and Andrew's cars from last year, and then improved upon with what I think is the best header (the HKS), more testing and tuning, tire testing, etc. But the baseline setup we started with is still there.

Are the setup's pretty much the same?

Yep, except for the tires as Z1's are no more. Most CS guys were on Z2's, and I like them for this car in THAT class, but not so much in STX.
