It's been awhile since I've reported back but it is all done! The build went way over time and budget but I am happy to report that the car is at least if not faster than a 991.1 GT3. I haven't put a lot of laps in, and the laps that I did were in mid-30s degree weather and damp, so there isn't a nice solid lap to post. Plus the laps were meant to shakedown the car and get the suspension dialed in. Although the car isn't 100% dialed in, it is still wicked fast. The theoretical times (theoreticals are based on actual best sector times, for those that don't know) went down by just over 3 seconds on a 1.7 mile track. Best of all, I did it on street tires vs scrub A7s.
Unfortunately, due to a shift in my objectives, I will be selling the car. Since it did go over budget by so much, I need to free up some cash to put together a complete race season in the Spec Miata. This is why I haven't spent much time in the car - I don't want to put too many hrs on the components for the next owner.
