Default GT3 at VIR(pics inside)

i had a blast at VIR with Zone 2 pca. they were having their club race along with a solo advanced only DE. since they were down on racers, that opened the gate for a ton of track time for the DE group. we had 5-45minute sessions on friday, then 3-30minute and 2-45minute sessions on saturday, ending with 3-25minute sessions and 1-60minute session to close the weekend. i had all i could take after the 1st 2 sessions on sunday and packed up around lunch time. its crazy to think we had over 7hrs of track time, thank you zone 2. here are a few pics from the weekend




classic oak tree shot





you tend to see this every once in a while

That's an impressive amount of DE track time!

aftermarket but i wish i could tell you where they came from. the previous owner fanished off the face of the earth and i was never able to find out where he got all the carbon fiber bits from. the dealership could never get a hold of him or at least thats what they told me. here is a pic from when the guy traded the car back in with only a little over 1k miles.

rear blade was probably GMG Racing (and probably the mirrors too), not sure about the CF lip, I think cargraphic have one ... I dont think you would miss it if you scrape it it would look like sh*t ...

Cool Pics!!

I wish I could've made it there last week...

Too bad you didn't get to keep the wheels the PO had... Those look great.

looks freakin sexy until ...s c r a p e ... then it's all over ... event the normal black ones look pretty awful after a good drag ...

that GMG CF wing though ... totally sexy esp on a AS car like yours ... I nearly got one for my '07! but resisted the temptation ...

I think your car would look good with a set of black C90's from HRE ...

I am "patiently" waiting for them to start production on a CL version of it for my 2010 3 ...
