Still out there trying to prove that
the M3 is a fast car even in N/A 6MT form.
After a 6 month or so hiatus, I finally got back to Laguna Seca and beat my previous record time at this track. Will probably be able to break into the 1:30's once I run more camber (only -2.8 in the front at the moment), and I definitely have a few seconds left to shave with a bit more confidence in some of the corners.
One strange thing I noticed is my top speed dropped from around 122-124mph through turn 1 back in April to 116-118 mph this time. Slower top speed, but faster lap time. Obviously going faster through the corners, but I wonder if my car is not running in top shape.
