I know I shouldn’t be chasing times and all that, but it’s pretty fun to be running a 150k mile 10 owner M3 at the same pace as the GT4RS I was playing tag with all day.
And there’s definitely plenty of room for improvement. I’m still cheating in on turn in on the fast straights, and need to work on being smoother. But the car is a champ. |
Agreed, it is much harder to be good with the brakes when there's an issue. It also sucks spending thousands upgrading rear brakes but it is a much bigger performance upgrade than most people think.
Didn't you have a rear brake issue? I'd be interested to get your feedback on pad life. I think you'll get a lot more life out of the front pads.
