What kind of times did you run there at Buttonwillow? Looks like 13 CCW. Great track and fantastic car.

Also, what exhaust is that, sounds great!

That is a complete FVD system, I do miss the sound of that car as you pass
6k of rpm.

It's 13CW. I opt to never run any sort of timing equipment purely because in my experience it takes the fun out of tracking and makes me take it too seriously. I just like to go out and run 6-7/10. This way, I catch myself every once in a while actually grinning while on track Okay...off my high horse now - I do review my GoPro footage at the end of the day and my best recorded (read: not fastest) lap that day was ~2:06 with a passenger. The car is, of course, capable of way better times.

Exhaust setup is FVD headers and mufflers compliments of Doug

Yes, 13 CW, I mis typed there. Very smooth driving, and as stated the sound is glorious! I run Cargraphic mufflers, stock headers and a Fabspeed bypass which is loud, but very agreeable, especially down the straight there. I think you are on to something as relates to keeping the timing to a minimum. I get lost in squeezing for 10th's and often miss the simple pleasure of driving.

These are amazing cars and deserve to be driven as often as possible. Thanks for sharing Kevin! Hope to see you at Buttonwillow soon. Cheers
