Finally made it on track, pics within.

















Finally got it out on track the other weekend, Lightspeed images was there and got some really good shots of it on track!


I'll try and get the PDR stuff up, first time on track with it and I know I was slow. Just need way more seat time and trust in the car to stop.

Car did better than I did...hahaha

The only thing, if I had to pick something, was that the pads didn't have a lot of bite as soon as you touch the pedal...at least not like my GT350 or Z06 did so I was braking way way to early. It's also my daily so I didn't want to toss it into the dirt either.

I can't really say I have anything to complain about. I ran it 100% stock other than a MM catch can, brake fluid flush, and tire pressure adjustment. Needs to run the track alignment for sure...which again I knew that going into it just didn't have the time to change it before I ran.


I am by no means a advanced driver either...so take all of this with a grain of salt...or two. Been around it, and worked on a lot of road race cars....just never get seat time myself.

Did you do the brake pad bedding (burnishing) per the track prep guide? They usually will hook up great with a good transfer layer. I ran most of the tracks in Texas with the stock pads when I first got the car. Did you run with a group that offers an instructor? That helps a lot.

Pads are bedded in. Just the compound preference I guess.

I did not have an instructor with me this time. Oddly enough this probably the only time I have had a street car on this track. Most of the time it’s been race cars, and not mine. Hahaha

I freaking love that color. I have a black one and I kept staring at the car configurator in this color. My goal was to use my car to the 5yr/60k warranty then trade up for a newer 1LE maybe in green,...

Noooooo... It's not that time yet! Say it isn't so! Was such a bogus start to the season. You guys must be able to squeak out a couple more up there still if you really wanted to, no?? Nevertheless a sad day TC!
