So I didn't try... which I fully regret. I've only heard of bad stories of people launching out of it improperly or splitters/lips getting destroyed so I didn't want to chance it... especially first time out at the track. I do want to give it a shot next time.
Looking at data, my friend ran a 1:41 in his cayman carrying a measly consistent 45 mph in the carousel.. he actually gained +.8 seconds on me in that that turn alone. Since I ended up bleeding down to about 30-ish mph. We had a Miata who ran 1:36.0 carry 55 mph in the carousel. I imagine this will be the next step to gaining easy time at that track!

NASA they run their HPDE, TT and Racing in the same weekend, it feels a bit more hectic but more action to watch. Just a higher headcount overall We'll get you up to speed man! I spent about 1.5 years in my subaru doing all the HPDE's, and then 4 weekends in HPDE 3 (Advanced, for SCCA) in the m3 before I made the leap to instructing and time trials. The beauty of our cars is that it's a very capable machine, a few tips and tricks here and there and you'll pick up time super fast

Anyone that's ever run the common 265/295 combo ever go down to square 275s and feel like its very obvious the rear has less traction? Obviously there is less rubber but is it really significant or not?

Technically you have less grip in the rear, because tire contact patch is smaller. But the car handles *so much better*. Less rotation mass, more balanced. Much more tossable in my opinion. I run square setups now on both M3s. |

Go to a NASA weekend if you want to see as much action as possible. They pack the schedule and you will see it all: HPDE from beginner to very advanced, time trial, Spec Miata, muscle car-only, etc. Paddock will be absolutely packed with the whole gamut of cars. You will not be bored.

Where are you finding the noticeable reduction in rear traction? Entry, mid corner or exit?

I can't say it effected my laptime, it less planted as I was used to. The two rears I tried were MPSS and V720 Not having the rear planted, allowed more rotation, so it is not necessarily a bad thing. However for track I prefer 295/30/19, for the street I prefer the 275/35/19 |

I guess it comes down to personal preference, but I would frankly want as much tire as I can get. The M3 is heavy and has decent power.

Car will always stay NA so won't ever see but so much more power than stock. I know it's a vague question but I'll take any info I can get. I'll also say it will likely never be a track only car. Always needs to stay streetable for nice weather.

Or just do what's free: minor tire pressure adjustment.

Those running the Core4 hubs are you using the 12 or 14mm studs?

I just ordered them so not running yet, but after breaking a bolt I'm going as big/strong as possible - 14mm MSI.

Given their success with GTR race cars I didn't want the hassle of drilling everything out to accommodate the 14s.
