As background, I previously had a 2014 Cayman S, and did about 35 track days with it. After bedding the brakes, it took me about five laps before I crushed my best Cayman times. I shaved 4 seconds off my personal best, and was running high 1:28s and low 1:29s pretty consistently. Once I've got some more seat time, I should be able to shave a few more seconds off. I'm going to Road Atlanta next weekend and VIR in late February, which are much faster tracks, so I expect the gaps will be even larger. Compared to the Cayman, the GT3 is so much more stable and confidence inspiring. Going from the mid-engine to rear-engine layout hasn't been as significant as I expected, but I'm not driving anywhere close to the limit yet. I ran the car stock on Sunday just to get a baseline. My track alignment is scheduled for next week and I'll be adding the Cantrell roll bar and 6-pts as soon as they arrive. Aside from the obvious safety improvement, I'm looking forward to being held in place by the 6 points, as this car pulls some serious G's and I was feeling it by the end of the morning!

I'm using the AIM solo with the OBD connection, but will switch that over to CAN when I get a chance and will get the brake and throttle graphs working. I also need to get an external mic hooked up, since the wind noise with the built in mic is pretty awful. Here is a quick video of a few laps.

We could never get them to keep working for more than a few laps on the 997's.
Any improvement?
