Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Blue Chip,
Not my first track day. I have been doing track days for the last 5 years or so. One of the car clubs I belong to, The Oglethrope Driving Club, rents Roebling Road Raceway out every year in the late fall. This year we had hurricane Irma hit Savannah, which happened to be the same day we had the track rented. We rescheduled for Dec. Its a great day because there are a limited number of cars broken down into 3 run groups: No experience street cars, track experienced street cars and race cars. I'll run either in the experienced street group or the race group. Always an awesome time with tons of track time.

Tires are Dunlop Direzza II starspecs.
I have only tracked mine twice but I am planning to increase that
Did the engine related improvements help you at the track? Intake, cats and exhuast?
How much camber are you running? And what spring rates?
Why the semi solid?
Yes, I have improve throttle response, torque and power. Not to mention the glorious noise! Not sure of the specific numbers we did dial out some of the negative camber due to tire wear issues. The springs are progressive not sure of the exact rate. It’s been awhile since I installed them. Went with semi solids because it is primarily a street car and is still tolerable on the street with the improved shifter and throttle response.
If I can offer advice, before spending anymore money on performance, spend it on safety. Going in a vert a couple times can be okay. But as you progress, having a rollbar in a convertible becomes a must.
No. Mine stays in all of the time. It is not super hard to get out, but more work than I want to do. Other than the track, which I do one weekend a month (April through October) I really only drive the car maybe one day a week. Although getting a bar out of a vert would be much easier.
I do take the race seats out in between events. I have that down so it take less than a half hour.
Agreed. When I moved to open passing and consistently turned the lap times I was - it was time to make some tough decisions. Ultimately it led to the purchase of the 996 and later, the sale of the 997 cab.
