Over the next two days, it will have the GMG LMS roll bar, Cantrell substrap bar, Schroth harnesses (I decided to not cut the passenger seat, so 6 point driver and 4 point passenger-I rarely have passengers), and alignment. I'm going with -3'00" front and -2'45" this time, because of the 20 mm wider rear tires in the back. Soft front roll bar, rear stays mid until I get comfortable with the car and see if the rear needs to be tightened or not. Xpel to front section and double Xpel rear section that gets pummeled. Also painted rear reflectors and clear side markers. Radar detector, tint and backup camera next week. If all goes according to plan, I will pick the car up Wednesday night, try to break in 500-600 miles before tracking Saturday at ECR (Eagles Canyon Raceway). Exciting times.
Congrats Sam! Glad we can be part of the build

Very excited to see the final product!

Good seeing you today Sam. Car looked amazing and the exhaust sound was awesome! Loved the steering wheel too. Enjoy your new ride, I know you will.

Same here. Sam seems to have run the **** out of his GT3, ran it plenty at tracks he knew well. Did nearly everything one can do to adjust his car to both his various tracks and driving style.

Many here have reported "subjective" differences. The steering feel is one noted the most. And with a smaller radius steering wheel and bigger front tires, that makes sense. Louder road noise. A little trickier at the limit. Etc, etc, etc

What most of us really want to know, and havent seen yet online, with the same driver, on familiar tracks, what is the "delta" in lap times between these cars.

I can't wait too because I still am not sure if this car is faster than the GT3 on track or not.
