Perhaps its the brake/tire combo that was leaving me wanting more? Thoughts appreciated.

I'm gonna say it might be the combo or actually the tires. I've definitely experienced that before with RS3s (and PFC). I've yet to experience that with NT01s.


In regards to the topic of this thread. It's become painfully obvious after the past two track days that my stock brakes with race pads aren't up to the task for such a heavy car. Looking at the classifieds here, BBKs go for 4-6k+ ? Yikes I guess I'll just put up with crappy braking for a while >.<
