With 1:25-1:26 at LVMS you'll probably be top 10. The passing is totally insane though. You have to set it up early and be COMMITTED to making it! One thing I learned too late is that you don't have to get PAST someone going into the corner, you just have to get POSITION on them.
You mean set them up, so you get more pull coming out of the corner and accelerate or late-brake past them in the next? I liked Danny's 848 a ton, but I never romped on the gas to feel the pull. I'm sure there's plenty of it, but the lack of top end in the twins isn't something I look forward to. What does your 1098 top out at? The handling was fucking amazing, but in the end, it's just too expensive.
