Hmm FT86 Cup. Stock except for brakes, tires, rims, and crash bolts for front negative camber. Lease for 2 years do wrap and turn in at end of lease.

I would be all over that. Total it and just walk away, DE insurance can't be more than a few hundred.

We could do that with a used Boxster today! Problem is that the GT3 horsepower is intoxicating and it's hard to go back to <300hp.

I'm seriously in for a Spec-FT86 Cup.

Sealed drivetrain as delivered, stock ECU Tune. Just safety equipment, brake cooling, track pads, any brake fluid, spec-wheels (with TireRack support), spec tires (RA1), and a spec cat-back muffler.

Boxster maintenance and parts are more expensive. This would be dirt cheap on a Toyota platform which should make it reliable to boot.

Onelap is a MUST DO event for any car enthusiast.. Its one of my favorite events of the year and i look forward to it just like the 24h of Daytona.. It is also one of the most demanding events from the drivers seat... It really test you're skill with no warmup sight unseen laps that are 10/10ths..

I have been lucky to get hooked up with TopSpeed Motorsports and we have won the past 2 years in a row.. We just finished testing the new setup on their GTR yesterday at Roebling Road.. Going 1.3 seconds faster then last years test before Onelap.. Running a couple of 1:13.4s in full Onelap trim on street tires...!!

That means you will Lap me every 11 laps @ RR. Guess I need to step up the game in da Boss. See you in South Bend.

Well that's an endoursement that is hard to ignore!

1:134 or 1.3 secs faster then last year on street tires is mind warping
I'm hoping there will be a video

As you come flying past me at every track, just remember that I am having a more rewarding driving experience in my GT3.

Exact same times as before...

I also tested PSS for Michelin against stock GTR tires on a stock GTR.. So that data will come out in a bit...


There is a video with traqmate data being created..

Defiantly... I also drove a RS 4.0 on Hoosier R6 and although it was about a second slower is was WAY more fun and rewarding to drive. I was loving every bit of it...

But you don't have to tell me.. That's why i own a GT3 RS..

So, a GT3 RS 4.0 on Hoosier is 1 second slower at RRR than a Nissan GTR on street tires?

No wonder why Nissan claims the new GTR laps the Nurburgring in 7:20.


GTR: good for 1 hot Nurburgring lap, good for 3 OLOA time trial laps. I guess we won't see the GTR in ALMS, GrandAm or any race longer than 7 minutes.

Yup, just like a Fiat...
Unless you drive it on a Playstation, which is exactly the same except they last in the game.

Perhaps that's why Porsche does not participate with Sony; You can't feel the perfection.
