Unfortunately my car hit limp mode during my fourth session (ambient temps around 65F) but brakes held up throughout the day.

The track was crowded enough that I only really got 3 clean laps the whole day, but I managed a 2:08.

With a more aggressive alignment and better driving, I think a 2:06 should be possible!

What wheels are you running? It seems like the 245/45/17's are the max size without much suspension work etc. I am currently running the stock 225's and want to go upto this size. How did you like the grip?

As far as limp mode, think a bigger/better intercooler would make a difference?
