Also times for Little Talladega included from other cars.
I decided to actually have a friend time me at the end of the day at Little Tally and he tallied up 5 or 6 1:09's in a row at the end of the day before my street pads really gave up on me and I started taking it easy. I was even more content when the down to earth country boy officals even informed me I was only 3 seconds off Dez's (they didn't know his name but described his car) very modified 996 Turbo.
My car has
Shocks/Springs
Bent to hell Kosei K1 (front right)
Stock sway bars
X-braceless
Full interior
Stock Diff/gears
Toyo Ra1's
Currently no brake duct cooling on front left
Street Pads (axis b.s pads)
Shrick Cams + tune
I believe with some HT-10's I could really cut no less than .5 of a second off. Not bad for a very understeer happy/body leaning M3.
Track notes for relatively stock suspensioned M3.
In between 1 and 2 I see about 105-106mph
Back straight 106 mph
Planted in turn 1 i'm around 84mph
Car understeers heavily on an early apex into the esses which results in a 1:10 time.
Bent wheel is a distraction that needs to go away
Zero brake biased regardless of the lack of one duct
Toyo's work best at 29psi Cold
Other times
Doppelbadger-Faster..running 1:08-1:09 consistantly
APR Audi TT-1:15 (stock springs)
RobM3-1:12 consistant with him driving
Trailored Vette on Hoosiers-1:08-1:1:10 (up and down alot)
Also I took the liberty of driving my friends bone stock 125whp 3G eclipse with mis-matched tires and stock everything but springs and 2x lbs 17's. I managed a 1:16-1:17 but feel I could've done consistant 1:16's had it had the power steering belt on and tread on the front left tire
Track notes for 2.4 3g eclipse:
86-88 mph on all three straights
Car understeers heavily on the esses if thrown in improperly
74 mph through turn one
drum brakes suck
CAR HAS POTENTIAL!!
On I side note I believe this eclipse has potential. I will nay say the 3g eclipse haters. When I rolled in a few people were shocked but I already knew what I was running without the timer. It was literally "guess what you were running"..Me"1:17" haha. 1:17s my first time out and 1:16s when I modified some of my lines. With disc brakes/proper wheels/tires/pads/fluid this car would have no trouble doing 14's or better
