Still getting used to the insanity of this car and RS29 pads but by end of the day I was much more consistent in the 1:30-1:32 range and set a PB of 1:29.74 which I was pretty stoked about.

Removed the dumb stickers on the LWB seat backs. Used a blow dryer to peal the sticker and 3M adhesive remover to remove the sticky gunk.

That's a decent start from what I understand. A friend of mine in a 427 Z06 and another in a Viper were in the 1:25's 2 weeks ago there, both on MPSC2's.

Just spent two days at the track RIDGE in PNW with Cantrell's/ProFormance and PCA back to back days in 70 degree perfect weather. Was there with SmokinGTS and others . My guess is about 6 991 GT3s and 6 -8 997.2 and 997.1 Gt3s, Cantrell's cup and other go fast Porsches, 2 z06s, prob 50 drivers each day. Sounded great. Hot weather for us. My 3 rd track day on my blue one. Super fun.

Wow. Those are super quick times! There's a modified Z06 that clocked 1:26.x this spring from Calgary I think - on YouTube. I was told fastest lap was a 997 Cup Car at 1:19.x.

Your friends are obviously talented!

Default Alignment spec

My local speedshop performed a much more aggressive alignment on the car.

I think they used 5 shims per side - I can't confirm if each of their shims is 1mm.

On track the car felt great. Felt little difference in straight line braking. Crisper turn-in and much more noticeable weight transfer on trail-braking (or so it seems to me).

On the street it seems to tram-line less than before. Go figure.

Don't think any shims are required for camber at those settings. Allan

They were in my case. Interesting though.

So I come out to my car after work and notice a small butt-print on my hood.

Appears someone thought it was a good idea to sit a small child on my hood for a photo op perhaps.

WTF is wrong with people!

Just a simple lack of respect.

Ah that's nothing...another member here had a 650s and came out to find some chick literally laying on his hood while her boyfriend was taking a pic...unbelievable.
