I heard mention of a sub 6:50 time in testing less than a week ago and hoped it was true. Today I see this and its close to what I was told so it definitely raised an eyebrow from me. If they can be close to this on an official run it would be absolutely fantastic.

My guess/hope after the first run was to get it down to 6:40-6:45. If that’s an unofficial cell phone time, an official time would almost certainly be in that ballpark.

Hurry up and get the official time out before GM releases the ZR1 time (assuming the ZR1 is out there, I haven’t been paying close attention to them).

In the cover picture of that video, what is up with the tailpipe extensions? Looks awkward...

What good is a car if you can't finish a 30 min session?
I dont agree with your assessment. What car are you running? I'll take a wild ass guess at a spec miata?
All that aside, the car shouldn't weigh 4400 pounds and should be able to run flat out for 30 mins.

How many more gallons do you think you need? Making my own bolt in kickers on my "4 point", I'm intimately familiar with that space, at this point.
For S & G, A 7 qt drain pan fits (more or less) in the recess under rear seat area (on each side). I'd guess two bladders would be at least 5 gallons total. Cover it with a steel panel and access to gas tanks is right there under those monster rubber grommets.
Understood you don't want to be bothered (and shouldn't be for that kind of coin), but if 21-22 gallons would be enough, I think it can be accomplished (assuming that area is more or less the same on S650 vs S550).

5 gallons would be more than enough. Probably 2 with a hefty crossfeed system across the saddle would get it done. That's why I'm shocked at a 16 gallon tank.... a few more gallons with some engineering would check that box.
The 350 guys did a fuel tank modification with multiple fuel pumps that solved the saddle ballance a while back. That mod would go a long way towards the problem, but not enough fuel in a 16 gallon tank is just that.

Your "wild ass guess" is incorrect, I have over 30 years in a Specracer Ford (an SCCA class), over 150 racing weekend events, including sprint races, 4 / 6 / 13 and even 3 24 hours enduros. The car will run for ~60 minutes.
I agree that the car is too heavy, but this is what it is, take it or leave it. Im buying one, and will enjoy it for what it is.
To me the GTD is a street car. If I wanted a mustang track car, I would be buying a GT3 / 4, 302R, or another flavor of of a dedicated race car. Lighter, potentially faster, and better on consumables. I have several other FAST street cars, and have tracked them, sure fun, but not the same as a real racecar.
