What is with the slow down under that 2nd bridge? (2 turns before the corkscrew)

Laguna Seca has a 92dB limit measured from a station halfway between Turn 5 & 6 on driver's right. I was upshifting to 5th and the BMW was going track left and feathering. Anything w/ a non-stock exhaust will have difficulties. Even stock exhaust w/ intake kits have problems. It's ridiculous since the track has been there for 40+ years and it's only recent residential developments that complain.

It's OK. It's better than stock but over the years, parts of the suede have become matted down, shiny & hard. It's also a little thinner than I'd like. Had I to do all over again, I'd get the 930S wheel.

What tyres were you running on? They seemed to be the limiting factor in cornering, but still looks like a handful of fun.

Pirelli PZero Corsa Systems. They were on sale for a bargain price, which made them barely tolerable. They weren't very sticky to begin with and after a some heat cycles, were gripless rocks.

That's just a road tyre, not even the 'R' spec version yes? If you can get on some 'R' spec rubber it will make a heap of difference as you probably know. I am a big fan of Toyo R888's but I don't think you guys have them yet?

I thoroughly enjoyed your blowing by the S2000 like it was standing still.

That 928 sounds great! I may have video of you driving at Infineon a few years ago because a buddy of mine was driving a white 944 Turbo there that weekend.
