I can if you don't improve 16 to take advantage of long straight

You did 16.7 in super cold weather and dry track. My Fiat did 16.57 in high 90s on partially wet track.

You're cordially invited to the NASA Time Trials at Sebring in October, or you can choose to hide in HPDE-1, or not show up as usual. I'll be running GT3 size tires (narrower) to make it fair, and a wing to make it fair, and splitter and all the other ugly aero trick to make it fair.

Sounds like a good challange for my fresh 3.8RS.

I will be a couple or four seconds slower then the 4.0 but with all the long straights that is to be expected with 50HP less. The Fiat probabaly will break down again in session 2 and hand the victory to the 4.0 beatlle...

The difference between the 3.8RS and 4.0RS is just 2 secs at Sebring, and the power difference is way less than 50Hp. Put them on the dyno, stop reading marketing BS and making facts out of it. Do you really think the 4.0RS hits the scales at 2,998 lbs?

Your car is faster than 4.0, no need to convince us it's not

you get a wing I need a diffuser.....

Ferrari’s engineers worked to increase downforce, adopting a more pronounced profile of the lower bumper’s leading edge, a new central lower flap, more angular front air intakes in the bumper and wider-meshed grilles. At the rear, the gain in downforce over the front axle is balanced by a more prominent nolder on the leading edge of the tail, and a completely re-designed rear diffuser.

In this configuration, the 430 Scuderia’s bodywork generates 75 kg (165 lbs) of downforce at 150 km/h (93 mph) and over 300 kg (660 lbs) at maximum speed.

When buying RA1's how can I tell if I'm buying the old batch or the new batch?

They haven't made them in your fitment for probably 6-7 years. So all you're gonna get is the old ones. If you can find them.

At what depth do the RA1's start to feel good? I have a new set on the car (unshaved), and while the lap times are good, they feel very mushy and imprecise.

The same marketing material says that my car weighs 2,750 lbs, and my car has 510Hp.

Dyno proved them wrong. Scales proved them wrong. And Wind tunnel testing by independent source proved them wrong.

Fiat engineers are full of crap.
