Nice driving!! Car sounds good. Love it,

Okay, so it looked like the average times were high 47's/low 48's. My fastest runs of the day were 46.957 and 47.10X

The mustang was the heaviest car there apart from a supercharged ~2012 Camaro on Toyo Proxes and he was a good/experienced driver. He ended up beating me by 9/10 of a second in the Camaro, and a little more with a 370Z.

My experience?

The front tires felt like pizza cutters. It liked to push quite a bit, and the Brembo's stopped much quick than the tires allowed.

The rears were also pretty slick. The was a big sweeping left hander on the far side and the rear stepped out just a little bit through the whole thing.

The sway bars were fantastic, so thanks Steeda. There were a few 3rd gen Camaros with tons if body roll, but everyone said my car looked great on the course.

That U-turn in the beginning was pretty tight and I could never get it right, but apart from that and it was a fun, fast (at least for my area) course.

I thought your car looked pretty flat in the turns based on what I was looking at. You did damn good!

That's kinda the plan! I've got some larger NT05's and NT05R's on the way for the driving school/tracks in a couple weeks.

I hear you on the front tires. I started with an extra 6 PSI up front to try and keep the tires from rolling over but had to dial it way back down to keep it from pushing.

I want a square setup something fierce, but I need to kill the stockers first.

The one autox event I've been to in my gtpp I had a similar experience.. The front tires were hard to plant and the rears were slick.. But it is bone stock
What did you have the car in track mode or full off on the traction control?

I have a base model so in the wet I left everything on, on the first 6 or so dry runs I only turned the traction control off and by the end of the day I had everything turned off.

With everything off it was by far the best.

I started my day off in sport + but made my best times in Track mode.
