Believe it or not, yes. 18" Michelin Pilot Sports.
Before the veins start popping and the tut tutting begins . . .
1 Car has only 8,000 miles
2 Kept in climate-controlled private collection of 16 cars
3 Tires inspected and approved by:
- NY State DMV
- Tech inspection by highly-regarded CT speed shop
- Tech inspection at LRP
- and by my instructor with 40 years of experience. (He certainly wasn't going to be a passenger in a car with questionable sneakers.)
The 3.6 L engine (315 hp) will be plenty of power for me for a long time. (We did a decent 125 mph in the straight.) However, even the instructor commented on the big difference in suspension stiffness between the track cars he has driven, and what a street 911 is built for - stiff enough for 'spirited driving' and comfortable enough for your significant other - not for optimum track cornering.

Three Wheelin'
i can attest to this. on that very track. Steve once jumped the shark on me. Literally hopped a curb, launched over my front hood, landed it and didnt step off the throttle on way to victory ...or something like that.

too funny- glad you are getting new tires. "Tires inspected and approved by." I have some 6 year old MPSC I'm throwing away. come get them. "like new" Steve- did you get a new front splitter? I heard Dr Brain had an interesting day at NNJR event.
