This was my first weekend with P-Zero slicks on my 18 inch wheels. The Pirelli's are MUCH better tires than the Yoko slicks I ran previously (only because Pzero's weren't avail). My previous best was a 1:14.7 on Yoko's, and this 1:13.7 looks surprisingly easy. As you can see, my run onto the straight to begin the lap was awful due to traffic, 1:12's are definitly in the cards in the future. It is amazing how big a difference the MUCH lighter 18" wheel/tire package and 6% shorter effective rear gear make for acceleration and gear selection. I laughed out loud when I found out my best lap was rolling through T2-7 in 4th gear!!! Gotta love that torque. Unfortunately, traffic was substantial so I wasn't able to get that 1:12! Here's the P-Zero vid:
I was able to beat my previous PB on RE71R's by .6 seconds. This was the first day on my second set of RE71R's.

Pure magic! Optimized to the max, even with a proper "qualifying style" gas management
I really wonder how 18 inch wheels + slicks feel like. Must be incredible, I'm already super impressed with the stock setup.
Amazing driving as always, you really show what's possible with our car!
Btw, my alignment maxed out at -2,1 in the front. I even added 5mm plates because the guys said there is danger of the rims rubbing against the dampers. Any suggestions what you guys did to add some more? Was hoping for around 2,5
