As a follow up to the OP's request for suggestions for a driving coach, I am also interested. My son and I go to AMP often and I'd like to get some professional instruction. Any suggestions for a coach in the Atlanta area? If they're familiar with the AIM SOLO, so much the better.
We're both running 1:38-1:39 in an e36 M3 and a 944 S2 (about the same times in each car) - but I don't see getting much faster without help.

They have gotten Cups to pass sound there? I wonder how? I'm not going until I'm sure I can flog and pass sound.

It's a 98 db limit. Seems that some pretty loud cars have passed, but not sure about cups specifically. My S2 has a Lexus-like 66 db. Gotta do something about that.....

My '84 Targa with stock muffler measured a puny 79. I was humiliated and immediately came home and ordered a M&K 1in2out, to go with previously installed M&K premuffler. Much better.

Ran it last weekend at VIR and was happy. GF said it was not nearly as loud as the vintage racers, but she coud tell when I was coming up the backstraight.

My instructor at AMP was driving a 2007 GT3, which I guess has some kind of cut-out at 4000 rpm? He was not happy about being told to short shift or not run anymore.
