First comparison test to date worth it's salt; same day, same track, and fact that Bergmeister was there means any issues with set-up would've been immediately recognized and sorted. If you haven't been on track with a pro like Bergmeister you're missing a unique educational experience. They can do one lap and tell you whether a particular tire is off by half a pound.

Thanks for posting Chris. Results exactly as expected.

Must drive an RSR.....

I second that. I was getting instruction years ago from the Formula D world champion he had me pull in the pits because my back left tire was over inflated (no TPM wasn't showing the pressures). He was correct, it was up 3 psi.

after this, maybe look at cup wing and splitter options...


I know it's not necessary, but it's in my blood to try and take the factory and make it just a bit better...
RS OEM BMC filter is cheap at ~$160 from fabspeed; same part number

Makes a nice difference in induction noise.

I did GMG rear bypass and the OEM RS filter at the same time. I drove the car around a buddy's neighborhood around midnight after we finished the job together. We felt like it was borderline too loud.

Then I got used to the sound volume and added catless headers...

Nice read. Jethro knows how to write and drive. Sharing this video here because I like your thread, I hadn't seen this one before, and I bet others might enjoy it too.
