everything went great with the car this weekend.

Version .5 exceeded my expectations quite a bit.. i had a goal of a 1:59 @ tws, and ended the weekend with a mid 1:57.

Version 1.0 should be quite a bit more stout :D

here are some pics from this weekend.

keep in mind, this is version .5.. STill need to add fender flares, build my front splitter and wing, and do more changes to the suspension. Overall a very capable package.

damn thats awesome, those tires are fat as hell. Rubbing on those fenders at all or is it stiff enough (and have enough camber) that you can get away with it?

just a touch of rubbing. lots of fender work and stiff springs. (500front/800 rear)..

stock sway bars :)

You were MOVING when I worked the track on sunday. Should be pretty competitive in GTS-2.

[RyanZ06]

Thanks. I beat the previous GTS-2 lap record by about 2.8 seconds, but I know of a few cars in the works that should give me a run for my money. :)

Sunday was a fast day, period. My buddy with the Hellrot '95 M3 tore off a 1:57.0 (just one lap, mostly 1:58-9), and I got you around 1:58.3, but I didn't get all of your laps.

Keep in mind my car is about 2650lbs and only makes about 175whp. :)
