Thanks for all the comments guys! This was my first time in the car. I bought it from Brady at 901 Shop at the end of Dec. I wanted to run the car "as is" and on R7's like I will in HSR. The funny thing is it's still on torsion bars and JRZ rear shocks - MCS front shocks. Brady said it drove great like this and he was right!! I am very happy with it and surprised how fast it actually was. It's a great little car. I plan to develop it a little more with MCS/spring setup and hope to go to a bit bigger tire. Will run it in HSR and a few PCA races in the future. It's just about as much fun as you can have. Here are some photos.

Yep. 86 mph vMin in T1, 72 mph in. t17. Some Cup cars don’t do that. Or, if they do, they do it for too
long!

Holy crap! I was there this weekend watching the races and had no idea Leh was driving this car! Wow!

that explains a lot about why the turn one entry for this car was sooooo quick!

In this case GT4 is the club race class this car and Leh ran in, nothing you need to worry about while doing your charity laps.

On topic, though, Leh was doing lap times similar to the GTD cars (that's GT4 Clubsport class for those that don't know). That is hauling the mail in a 1970 911. Watching guys wheel an older car like that I find amazing and fascinating.

Yep. And in an era where fewer and fewer people drive manual transmission cars on track, it's wonderful to hear his perfect downshifts every time

I was standing at turn One just past the turn in point for the start of the first race on Saturday and watched him 4 wheel drift the car all the way through the apex on the very first lap, it was incredible.

For the next several laps he was pulling away from the field at about 2ish seconds per lap and continuing to throttle steer the car through turn one every single lap. We had no idea at the time who was driving but we were very impressed to say the least. Very cool to find out it was Leh!

Uhh wut? I think you are confused.

GTD cars run ~2.02’s at Sebring... Also GT4 Clubsports do not run in GTD. You’re thinking GS class cars, which do lay down similar times to Lehs times in that car.

Sorry if that came off rude, I don’t suffer trolls well.
