When I first got the car I was hitting about 155MPH on the back straight with street tires and stock brakes. I would guess the lap times on the car would be somewhere in the 1:35 range.
Nic was there and was helping some of their customers out with setup on their cars. I talked to Nic about me helping them out with some driver training at those days so we will see if that works out or not.

I made the mistake of riding with Seth in the GT3 at Road Atlanta at a BMWCCA event in March. I say "mistake" because I've been trying to figure out ever since how to buy one!
I'm pedaling as hard as I can to do 42's in my M3.

over yours most is the weight, mine is down to about 2825 mt. we have the same suspension but i also have some cup car parts here and there, exhaust, intake, brakes... mine doesn't work on the road.
we did talk, i came and spoke with you - im friends with your recently absent (but soon to be reappearing at ra) competitor brian smith.
