Yeah I have:
Forgeline wheels 9x19, 11x19 - tires 265 in front and 305 in rear
clubsport front camber plates
TPC Racing rear toe links
Swift springs
DSC sport - which I ran in street, not sport on this weekend
BC Fabs headers/sport cats
Cargraphics track/race muffler so I can meet sound restrictions at some tracks.
M-engineering tune
Ferodo 3.12 front pads and Ferodo 2500 in the rear
Stock sway bars set middle middle
Dundon bolt on wing and canards
GT4RS underbody aero
Front toe was 0
Rear was in 2.2 per side
front camber 2.75
Rear Camber 2.2
Running 35 psi all the way round. Actually rolled over the rear left tire and raised the left side tires to 40 psi for the next session, but the sun had come out by then and the track slowed down for everyone. Still ran a 1:33.1.
Still not sure why this was my fastest lap, because my min speed was slow just about everywhere, and my max speed into 2 was down by 10 mph, and my max speed on the back straight was down 3 mph. So I must have done something else right. Haha. Had a great time.

Competed in SCCA Time Trials at Road Atlanta and this was my fastest lap. Was on Falken RT660's.

Nice! Road Atlanta is one of those tracks I really want to run, some of the elevated sections look very fun. Unfortunately it is really just out of range for us guys in the NE.

It really is a fun track to drive. I'm down in Florida so I'm jealous of you guys, because I would like to drive Watkins Glen and VIR. VIR might be doable though.

Alright, little update here - changed from my 981 to a 718 - (2) different videos with (2) different sets of tires (both sets of tires were on their last day unfortunately, in fact the Hoosiers corded in another flying lap attempt after the below video).

High Plains Raceway - 2020 Cayman GT4 - 1:56.9 - 10.8.2022 - Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s (stock 20" size) - Dundon Headers, Salter uprights, Girodisc steel rotors & Ferodo DS3.12 pads, all else stock


High Plains Raceway - 2020 Cayman GT4 - 1:54.3 - 11.3.2022 - Hoosier R7s (stock 20" size) - Dundon Headers, Salter uprights, Girodisc steel rotors & Ferodo DS3.12 pads, all else stock


And just for proof - on my way into the 1:53s when the front left tire corded and grip dropped off:

A perfect weather afternoon at Barber Motorsports Park yielded a new PB - a 1:34 on Falken 200 TW street tires, 200 cell cats w/ tune and track alignment.
I thought a 34 was possible after this summer, but I'm not sure if a 33 is possible on street tires without a serious driver or more mods.

Jesus that is a good time in a 981 on street tires. Nice work, I'd love to see that lap for pointers!

Have heard a few others running DS3.12 front and DS2500 rear. Is this for better trail braking? For me it might save worrying about rear lad changes for street / track.

What size wheels and tires are these? Just wondering to see I'd be able to fit PCCB and run a DH with a sidewall like that
