I would also recommend getting wheels and tires as I never tracked the car on the runflats. I went straight to the 1LE Goodyear Supercar 3s. My car was also optioned with the 6 piston brakes so I'm not sure how the 4 pistons hold up, but I used to run the Motul 600 and now run SRF.

I run full time track alignment and even though it doesn't seem to be enough camber for me on the track, I have still corded the insides of the front tires every time. Only have 13k miles and I will be going on my 4th set of front G3s. Pic of typical tire wear for me, also my avatar pic.

Oof. Which track are you racing at and how many hard laps a day?

Whats going to happen to me running on run flats lol?

Nothing. You already know about driving and slip angles etc... Slower lap times, and frustration. On occasion I have run my stock run flats in the rain on track, or a couple times I was just turning laps. Mainly my run flats are on for winter storage. lol

[kropscamaro16]

i changed my oil at 500 and then again at 1500 miles with a rear end flush also


just did another oil change and rear end flush as i plan on tracking my car alot more this year!

Pittsburgh International Race Complex, Nelson Ledges, and Watkins Glen last year. Hoping to get to Mid-Ohio, Pocono, and NCM for the TT Nats this year.

Nothing bad will happen on the run flats, it's just the wheels and tires will be the best bang for your buck mod and you should see a large lap time improvement. I'd go for some Apex 19s if i was doing it over again.

I change my diff fluid at the beginning of each track season and run 5w-40 oil.

I saw the pics on your page of your car on the track with that clear film on the nose and behind the doors? What it that stuff? I’ve been thinking about what to do about my paint
