Now you understand why I wired you money today

2:34 was actually a nose set. on an Aero Beetle if you do not set the nose entering into T-16 the car will plow wide for the back straight and lose speed

Clarke has much more duct tape than Reter and me
I'm closer to 16k.

Detour had his 458 at Sebring

In 6 - 20 minute sessions his rear pads were to the backing plate

NJ-GT runs every other session.

Bring a Fiat to Sebing. put 500 track miles on it one weekend a month.........or stay home and burn $100 bills. ......same difference

I don't like playing with Diasio's because they dump oil on every track they visit....

Finally somebody in my league I was running 2:36's in da Boss wishing for better tires every turn. PZero's suck.

More fun tomorrow at RR with the GT3 gotta get a flat 6 fix.

12,000 miles, 21 track days, too many autocrosses, too many drag races. With less use than this, my 2004 GT3 was on the 2nd transmission, 3rd differential, 2nd RMS and 3rd clutch.

There are affordable brakes for the FIAT, just not available as an option from FIAT, but aftermarket.

All the Aero Beetles are running on aftermarket brakes anyway: PFC pads, PFC rotors, custom non-stock cooling. Run the Aero Beetles on the stock PCCB, and things will be identical to FIAT wear.

If you have a friend with a wholesale account, FIAT CCB rotors are cheaper than PCCB.

If I tuned my car like Rad does with his Fiat not even traffic will let him catch me, but I don't need to do it. My 2:16 in traffic was really really easy!

Rad - you may be good in autocross with those A6 but your lines at Sebring are very suspect.

If the 4.0 is over priced then everything else is a rip off. The car transmits Incredibly and just feels awesome. People just don't understand.

PFC08 pads, TC off / SC off

Front, 6 days / 838 Sebring miles

Rear, 12 days / 2200 Sebring miles, 400 Roebling miles (Roebling easy on brakes)

I believe Fiat is tuned over 4.0 hp

Rad.....the bet stands

I drive Fiat and you drive beetle

We need to fix your point and shoot lines. HP is making up for a pinched corner in a few places

You shouldn't have taken Rads bait......what a bunch of bullsh!t. Rad is trying to give us all Stockholm syndrome with this Fcar putty party
