Thank you! I bought the car partly as a result of lurking on this site and seeing how much fun you guys were having. I learned a ton here, although I won't be nearly as hard core. For now I'm just doing basic daily driver suspension mods, better brakes, wheels and tires, so I can get out there and practice without the car totally falling on its face.

True that. I don't have any experience at other tracks to compare, but I have found Palmer kind of intimidating and easy to get lost on. But also gorgeous and a total blast, I'm hooked. Slow but hooked lol.

Welcome to TMO!Speed will come with time; have fun! When you get determined to go faster, pick one corner or technique to work on each session and work on nailing it, then put it all together!

1:37.6 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Stock 2013 Boss 302S on Pirelli DH slicks, with extra GT500 mufflers and diverter pipes installed to quiet the car down to 88dB. Yours truly behind the wheel.

#insertRacerExcusesHere:
The tires were pretty well worn by this session
It was only my third time driving the 302S
There was lots of traffic and it was hard to get a clean lap.
This is my only 3-pedal track car and my heel-toe needs work.
Extra mufflers hurt the top end power

88db is crazy low. Do you have a picture of the exhaust setup? I have to come up with something different to quiet the car down to 94db for one track here in AZ. I made some "ghetto diverters" to get below 103db at Thunderhill a few weeks ago.
Oh and also you beat my MRLS time!

Your only three pedal track car? Gentlemen we need to start a gofundme page and get this man more three pedal cars!
I too would love see what you did to get the car that quiet, like Drew I also broke the 103 db sound limit on our NorCal adventures
Easy fix and this is my favorite mod.treynor said:

2011 5.0, Coilovers, G-Stream Wing, 315/30/15 Hoosiers, lots of small mods.....
This car will be listed for sale shortly. It is very well sorted and consistently turns laps 2-3 seconds faster than 302S cars.

I will get a picture of the setup from Borelli. I've also asked them to do a before & after dyno to see how much the mufflers are costing on top end. I'd guess its in the range of 30HP.

OP, want to Add Arizona Motorsports Park in Litchfield Park, AZ to the list? 2.23 miles track. I have to block off my side pipes to stay within the 96db limit, but its a great course. http://arizonamotorsportspark.com/

I was surprised to read that you are selling it as you made no mention of that over the weekend. What changed and will you be buying something else?
And while your car is well set-up and very fast, it is the guy behind the wheel turning that into the blistering lap times!!

Post up a time and I'll add it! I'll be there eventually...

I've been there a few times and driven it once, although it was in a Corvette, so I won't post the lap time
I may try to get out there in December as well to see if I can pass sound with stock mufflers and some diverter pipes.
