Yes, they are modified RS quarters to get a full 2" wider track. The tires are RSR spec 31/71-18 on 12.5" and 27/65-18 on 10"

By the look of your special muffler for Laguna, the sound meter is infield?? Most track I have been to with sound meter, are usually on the outside perimeter and guys run their exhaust on the right and side.

Weighing only 2655lbs with a 3.8L that dynoed 422 RWHP this is one seriously fast machine. Now that she is done I look forward to a lot of coaching and seat time in order to fully explore the limits of the car.

I hope you enjoy the pics....
I see you meet Laguna Seca's sound approval
