A couple videos from this past weekend at Circuit of the Americas. New personal best with multiple 2:28's. Should have had a 2:27 in there but never got it right. Fun weekend!

Defaults to 360p res so be sure to click settings and select 720p if watching on your phone. On TV will be 4k.

Nifty driving! Not sure what was better, you chasing down Mustangs or listening to your car at 5,000 RPM. Car sounds DAMN GOOD! That looks like a fun and challenging track. I gotta drive it someday.

Thanks! She definitely has a rowdy sound. I don't know what's more fun, running down Mustangs or Porsches.

Of course, other power adders are flex fuel and BTR PDS stage 2 torque cam. Headers with factory NPP exhaust. Self tuned, never been on a dyno. Should be around 700whp I suppose.

Dang!!! I have a long road ahead of me!! Hahaha are you on stock suspension and breaks?

Fanch1LE · 03-08-2024, 08:13 AM

The front brakes are upgraded to 6 piston calipers with the larger rotors. Using dba t3 5000 rotors and ST43 pads front and rear. Brake cooling ducts and 6th gen brake cooling deflectors.

Suspension is 1" BMR drop and Bilstein shocks.

Elpalomo2014 · 03-08-2024, 09:08 AM

Awesome! Sorry for all the questions, our platform is being overshadow by the 6th gen!! Hahahah and no so often I encounter people road racing the 5th gen.
Did you front brakes are 6th gen 1le with zl1 rotors? I alreday have the cooling ducts with the 6th gen 1le deflector, stocks brakes and xp12 brake pads. Tomorrow i’m going to the track to see how they perform. Suspension wise, 1.25 BMR lowering springs stock shocks. Maybe at the end of the year some MCS or Detroit Speed.

Fanch1LE · 03-08-2024, 09:20 AM

Yes that's correct. I used the 6th gen SS 1LE caliper and 5th gen ZL1 rotors. Also installed vented caliper pistons.

And yes, the 6th gen has taken over for sure. It's a great platform. I don't see any 5th gen's at the track. That kinda makes me more determined to represent! Haha.

Heck yeah!!! You’re not alone!! Let’s give them hell.. hahahaha
Thanks for the info!
