S1 also in bringing a Butter Knife to a Gun Fight with a 718 Cayman GTS. Mods are basicly SCCA Street class solo with no limit on wheel size. The idea came from SCCA Track Night in America in regards to experience. It is not like NASA TT, which I also run, where you need to work your way up...

If you track it is only a matter of time before something goes south. It can be mistakes you made or somebody else dropping fluids etc. Kudos to you for posting your accident and hopefully others will learn from your incident. If I read correctly this was your 1st track day and you turned the...

Check with your selling dealer. That is where I got my info. Peter

It depends on state laws and the guilty parties Ins Co. When I got sideswiped to the tune of $23k, that was without any suspension damage, Auto Owners paid me $8,500 in dimished value!! All it took was some documentation of current value after damage, CarMax appraisal, and undamaged value from...

Bring it to TT Nationals and we can have a Targa Southland reunion. :cheers: Peter

Couldn't make it this year. Broken hip last Dec and just getting walking again. There is always 2019 if life co-operates. :) Peter

165 at Daytona and feathered at the Tri Oval as the front was getting light. Man bearings need to be bigger. Peter

My story had a better ending. Was sideswiped by a PU who had Auto Owners Ins. Auto Owners was a pleasure to deal with and my total repair bill was app $21k. For diminished value I went to Car Max and got an offer which I used with the KBB value which showed a loss of value of app $8000. Turned...

:doh: You might want to check out Porsche GT3 and GT4 cars ;) resale value. Peter

Video without data and complete laps is not my cup of tea. Moving on ;) Peter

I don't have an off season so my car ADD is year round. :D Peter

I would refuel. I would feel really stupid if the worry about app 25# of extra fuel,3/4 to full tank, ruined my day. Peter

All this worry over a few on ounces of oil. Let's put in perspective if you are one qt. low you still have 90% of the oil in the engine. A few ounces difference between cold and hot is nothing to get your shorts tight about. If it is showing on the hash marks drive the car. When it gets a qt...

I didn't bother to check mine as it is what it is. If it grenades then I get new motor. I get a kick out of the worry that sometimes infects people on this forum. Just drive it like you stole it, hopefully on the race track, and enjoy the ride. Peter

Price is now $50. Peter

Having done the 1Lap 5 times I would not take a trailer as it just adds complications. The GT350 has more than enough room inside for everything you need. Peter

One important thing to remember when you install new wheels. You need to retorque them several times as they will loosen up while driving as they wear in. Peter

Wine Country Motorsports has a 20% off $500+ coupon so you can get safety gear to protect your body when something goes south ;) Peter

Short answer is yes. ;) Wider and stickier are better but they won't make you a better drover. Learn to get all the tires will give you, then you can add size and compound. Peter

I track my GT350 but don't push it to my limits, notice I said my limits. I have a caged gutted 8th gen Civic Si that I push much harder in NASA TT as it is safer and the downside $$ loss is minimal. I used to think I could afford to write off an expensive car but when I did $15k in damage...
