Eddie, did I suggest at dinner a GT3RS and we talked about it but you didn't seem so hot on it?....LOL...nice car and it will be a super reliable track car. What wheels are you buying? Brand and size???? Have you looked at those lightweight Champion or OZ Forged?

I've seen the car yesterday; It looks like a showroom new car. Only options are wing triangls painted and silver seat belts as far as I could tell. Nice, but silver seat belt will get dirty quick!

Eddie, drive mine with Sharky back to back so you can see if you like the sound level.
Stop by tomorrow so we can put a set of my BBS on and hit PBIR tomorrow evening.

Bypass:
Bypass only is loud enough on track to hear yourself, plenty loud on the street under throttle but quiet enough to be on blue tooth up to 4000RPM.

Toque wrench:
Search here for the torque wrench, check luggage compartment that the tool is there.

Lowes can opener or little screw driver

Porsche Motorsports platinum $125.00 wheel lock bolt; or 0.80c at Home depot.

CS roll bar, seat belts and Traqmate install and you're good to go. The LSD will be OK for a couple of weekends

they could both wear a pair of each other's wheels......so, one car has black wheels on left side and silver on the right side, and vice versa.....that would make point-by's, DASTARDLY..

Sharkwerks Bi-pass ( if florida track has no noise restriction then yeah, sharkwerks track exhaust)

buy a tequipment harness bar OR buy Rads clubsport bar if he still has it.
Rad's bar, on wheels, I work close with a wheel company, and they we will test a new wheel on the car, I just need to figure out the sizes. All I can say is that they are stupid light around 18 pounds for the front
Decal delete is on my plan also, and the red accents out.

You did ! and so did Randy and Peter, I wish I did this before. Tks Mike, and that is the idea, a reliable track car and also a street car. I'm getting ADV.1 wheels as e will test a new product that is super light, also forged, but I didn't figure out the sizes yet.

I will tks for your help ! beer is on me after the track.

Bypass:
Bypass only is loud enough on track to hear yourself, plenty loud on the street under throttle but quiet enough to be on blue tooth up to 4000RPM.

Sounds like a great option, and the price is right. I would love to drop the weight, but I want to use the car on the streets, so I don't think the track exhaust is an option, at least not right now.

Toque wrench:
Search here for the torque wrench, check luggage compartment that the tool is there.

Rad has one with my name on it.

Looks nice. I wouldn't bother putting any money into though as it will just be up for sale in 3-6 months

Personally I would not do a full exhaust. Aside from price, the dealers don't like them and quote crazy things about compression, vacuum, and leaky seals.... I'm assuming your car is still under warranty.

I would look at the RSS center bypass. It looks better than Sharky's. I like Shark's too, but I don't care for the bolt on tips. RSS has integrated tips. I'm sure they probably sound the same though.... Customer service is great at both shops.

Randy sent me a pic last night of an absurd amount of Toyo's in his garage. He and Reter are literally hoarding the entire 10 year old inventory available in the US to themselves

I tried Hoosiers for the first time on Sat. And it was damp at Sebring. I can honestly say I will drive on nothing else at this point Even a slow poke like me could appreciate what an awesome tire they are, even if they don't last as long as the Toyos.
