I had some great fun on st. Pattys day with a bunch of friends. <and thank you to the so cal serca club> We went to willow springs and spent all day on the track. I was one of two gto's there and one of my best times were 1:46. The only mod was more agrressive brake pads. I had so much fun with 400 hp to play with. Top speed on track was 127mph. With turn 9 exit speed around 80 mph. Which is average. On track the handling was overall pretty good and very communicative but not as responsive as a lighter car would be. Plenty of pull and more grip that I thought. Next Time ill bring a g meter to give everyone more details. Questions Welcomed!!

400 hp 1800lb race car with slicks is 1:30min. There should also be a some track record at www.willowsprings.com or .org. Slow times are usally a little over 2:00min. It is a 2.5 mile road cousre. Also known as the "fasted track in the west"

Q0: How many sessions?
Q01: How long were the sessions?
Q02: outside temp?
Q1: You said you replaced the pads prior. What was the condition afterwards?
Q2: How was the coolant temp during the event? (evaluating cooling capabilities)
Thanks for your input. :)
