If you think the brakes are bad on the GT3, you shoudl try driving a C2. I upgraded my car to the GT3 brakes and I would consider a 6742% improvement!!!! The GT3 brakes are like the hands of God compared to the C2. Than being said, I can still get them soft at the Glen if I really push it hard. I heard the cup car guys are going through a set of rotors in one race weekend.

No mechanical failures here. The car is solid.
Replacing tires, however, causes wallet failure every couple of months.
I think in the spirit of the sport, all P-car owners should get free tires and fuel from PCNA/PCAG for one year. HIP HIP, HOORAY!
Ok. Back to reality.

Zero failures with my car at the track. 40,000 miles on the car. 40% DE miles
Pads, tires, flush fluids. other wear items. Have never had a wheel bearing go and I just had it inspected last week.
I keep looking for something to go wrong but......
The car is solid as long as the DRIVER does not make a big mistake.
If you hit a zone 2 over rev(missed downshift) you will pay.

That's it for me so far.

Do you drive it on the street; just how noisy is it?
Thanks!

Chewing RS-19s, rotors, and tires constantly. No mechanical failure despite driving the car very aggressively on the track. From what I read, I must be due for something to go wrong with the car...

Who has the AP slotted rotors and what are they running $$ wise.

The car is great and is made for DE. The only failures that I know of came from driver error. My car has 48,000 miles with about 20K on the track. Not a single failure.
