Hey guys---got my new Veloster turbo and took it straight to the track to get a baseline, and do a proper review video of the car. We took a bunch of gopro's and stuck them everywhere---we're cutting the footage together to get a complete video, but I wanted to share the rough footage with everyone---these cars are a lot of fun at the track and have amazing potential!!! Here's a link to some fun/rough footage-

I think we top out about 115mph to 118mph in the front straight---through turn 8 we're going about 110mph to 115mph. The stock tires are a huge limiting factor on the car---aftermarket tires would take many seconds off the laptimes---that and getting the car properly setup suspension wise which is in the works currently. Still I was able to drive around quite a few cars in it's stock form, allthough I've done quite a few laps (probably thousands...) there.

Here's another video clip---the audio isn't great but you can just make out what I'm saying. We're using the footage from these clips and a couple others to do a proper review video and then a video series on how to prepare the car for the track/racing. Again the audio quality isn't great but still fun none the less

I've been dieing to find out how this car does at the track as in the next two years I will be buying another new car. So far its narrowed down to a BRZ, Veloster Turbo or Miata. Thing is if the Veloster was RWD it would be a slam dunk. Then again if the Gen coupe looses like 800 lbs and shrinks in size that would be my 1st choice. I want something I can daily drive but also something that I can track from time to time. Just one question... @1:01 twin scroll supercharger? |

Suscribed as well, if anything just to relive that track. I love Willow Springs. That Veloster looked very capable. Lightweight wheels and sticky rubber would make it even more so. I look forward to seeing whats next.
