Completed MVP track time yesterday @ Road America. Wow what a turn out. Had to be 25 GT3's there. Crazy.

Car preformed beautify. First tire driving on slicks. Wow do they inspire confidence in the car. Shout out to Shaun for building this wicked machine. Set my personal best! 2:48 with tons of room for improvement. Hoping to be in the Mid 2:30 in June.

Not a big deal, but I think your winglets are oriented incorrectly. The edge you've got facing the rear should be facing the front of the car. You could swap them from one side to the other and that should fix it.

Some new parts getting installed! Big brake upgrade in the works!

 

[Vettel-ish]

S550 6pot upgrade done. Had to order new Russell lines to make them fit. Going to be trying GLOC 12 front and rear. Going with both the same all around to try and stop the nose dive I was getting on my ST47 and 4 pot

Boy are they HUGE! Seems to fit on my 18" wheels, they just need a spacer.

Nice brake upgrade- you’ll love them. Car looks great.
Those 18x11 apex wheels fit? There’s a guy local on Facebook selling a set with tires for $1500 but I wasn’t sure if they’d clear my same setup

According to Apex they do yeah, with a spacer though keep in mind.

Oh, I've been trying to talk a buddy I work with into a track day with me. It's hard talking him into road course stuff though. He has a '15 Hellcat challenger. We were looking at Blackhawk farms. But NCM is ~2 hours closer for us. So not sure yet.

With the new 6 piston Brembos installed headed to blackhawk. Testing a gopro as well. Wow are these brakes good.

Teens @ Blackhawk is flying. Really really happy with myself and my driving right now.

Am I the only one that enjoys washing this lol.

 

[Sjohnson1800]

Looking good! And nope I also love doing this just wish I had more time to do it more often.
