Anyone know about the status of Attesa? For those not in the know, it's a planned motorsports park with two road courses near Casa Grande between Phoenix and Tucson.

Nice lap! I wonder if you need to downshift one more gear going into T11-you are at 2900 RPM, would a lower gear get you more into the ideal torque curve and give you a few more MPH on the back straight?
We are talking two very different tires. The grip of the SC2's is nothing short of astonishing. If you drive with them on a track, the will wear out relatively quickly, maybe 2-4 track days depending on the track and how aggressive a driver you are.
The PS4S (which is the next gen of the PSS)...
Completely dependent on which dealership is doing the work. The first dealership I took it to said it would take 3 months. The second dealership I took it to had it done in 15 days.
According to TireRack, the PS4's are also not supposed to be operated at temperatures under 40 degrees F. For your short jaunt to the dealer, I would expect them to be OK.

HB,
I drove COTA for the first time for the WRL race two weekends ago driving a BRZ race car, and that track is a beast. Some tracks are relatively easy to find a rhythm on, but COTA is not one of them. I made some gradual improvements throughout the weekend, but really struggled to keep pace...
I hate to do it, but I'm thinking it's time to sell the R. I want to gauge any interest on this forum and get some advice on pricing. I'd love to sell it to a forum member and not have to deal with the knuckleheads that come out of the woodwork on the prominent car sales sites or on...
When I was at Mustang Roundup last year, one of the participants was just that much quicker than everyone else. I had a conversation with him about what he was doing different, and his data told him that keeping revs at or above 5K was optimal. So this is me trying to replicate that, though he...
HB,
I see your point re: 3rd vs 2nd, but the advantage you gain keeping revs at or above 5K in general, and corner exit speed in particular, is significant when doing a hot lap. I hate having to sacrifice RPMs when the whole point of this mill is winding it out.
Interesting you say the M2. There were several at the BMW Club event last weekend, and I went out in a comp version as a passenger with a fellow instructor. We liked that the shorter wheelbase was more go-cart-like in turn-in, but my friend said he liked the GT350R better (he has driven mine.)...
