Default fun lapping day

had a really good day, a lot of nice cars. new tires worked really well (NT-01), they really open up car's capabilities. I was "almost" hanging with 06 Z06 (he would pull away on the straights, of course) and passed Ford GT a few times

The only tricky part is that the nittos seem to be really sensitive to left/right pressure differences.

I did manage to boil out a bunch of coolant, right now the car has 5 bottles worth of bottled water instead of coolant . After it happened, I started short shifting to avoid another overheat and found that I can be just as fast without having to run it all the way to redline all the time.

Sounds like you had a blast. I would like to do this one of these years after I get a roll bar installed. Now that I have a new job and more cash HOPEFULLY that will all be remidied soon.

Glad to hear those tires are working out.

I'm done for a while, but I'll be looking forward to next year.
