The best I've done with the car mostly stock (just camber plates to stop eating tires and KWs) was 1:56 [3]. That was on 7-8 track days of experience, I'm sure a better driver could've extracted quite a bit more from that setup.

Since then, I'm with a bit more experience (30ish track days) and the car's a bit further from stock (tires, diff, suspension, brakes, bushings). So far, I've gotten 1:46-high out of it [4]. The M235ir-s get 1:37-1:41 on slicks, so there's still quite a bit to go.

Last weekend at Laguna must've been SpeedSF, no? I had to miss it this time because the car's out getting a cage built, but say hi at the next one. I'm the blue M240 with orange numbers.
Yep, Speed SF. I also have a blue M240 so if you see another blue M240 in the future that might be me!
