is ferodo phasing out the ds1.11? i need a new set of rears (have a set of fronts sitting on a shelf), and the rears in DS1.11 are $100 more than the DSUNO. looking at the coefficient of friction chart, the DSUNO is comparable or even a little better. any issue with mixing?

is that a more stable setup than 1.11 all around? i'm not looking to save a buck on brakes (!), but also if it's not needed then i can spend that elsewhere

1.11 is an endurance pad, and might be just fine front/rear. I’ve never ran that setup, but I have tried the 1.11 with the 2500 in the rear. It was ok.

I still question; why do folks not commit to full race prepped E9X M3s? I know they get spanked in SCCA due to being classed as T1, and it was a spank fest because all the V8 torque wonders......and this before SCCA allowed GT4 cars in But, outside of TT, I do not see much being prepped for W2W. Outside of weight, I cannot see another reason why no one preps one I know I know, The E46/36 combo is fully figured and the easy button but...?? |

At this point I think for the price the F8x is the better option. There are are bazillion of them around, they make power super easy, same ballpark on weight, more reliable?
I just talked to Bimmerworld about something and they said they're turning all of their focus towards the F and G series cars because no one is buying anything for the older ones any more. |

My other theory might have more holes in it, but I think the E92 M3 is the tipping point for where the speed potential goes beyond the risk level for what most HPDE drivers/grassroots racers are comfortable with. Granted, this is speaking in terms of a GT club-sport style car. Street trim cars aren't pushed as hard.This also comes from a general perspective and not one within the SCCA classes since I've not run with that group before and haven't used class potential to gauge a track car purchase. My inspiration for getting into the platform was seeing the sheer number of them in Nurburging videos, it seems very popular there. If I could get into any chassis of my pick, I'd go with a G82 M4. |

for W2W... it's just cheaper... to run a base 3 series over the M3. M3 parts are getting hard to obtain these days.. so i can't imagine W2W being something considered. although I do think the M3 would be good in Endurance Series. i also do keep analytics of money spent on my car.. and yeah... it's not a good number compared to what you can do with a E36/E46...

I would let that obsession go. I tracked my c2 996 a couple times and it was a dog. Of course it wasn’t purpose built like the car on the link but my take is the model would need a lot of work to keep up with modern cars on the track. I wish my area’s track groups had an experienced but pokey car run group. Sharing space with 600hp 911 turbos with 4 wheel steering against a stock c2 996, i’m going to spend a lot of my session giving point bys otherwise. |

If I were to track a non-swapped 996, it's the 996 Turbo all day. I watch this video once a day for the serotonin (I can't afford a 996 GT3, and I'm not a big fan of the .2 front end.)

Lol I see where you’re coming from. I traded the c2 for a 996tt in November. Don’t plan to track it but I sure could see it doing fine in an aggressive run group. I thought it was a pretty great car until you sent that video link, lol. |

GT500 cobras and turbo Porsches can easily eclipse 150 to 160 if they get a good run out of turn 10 at summit....without a cage Even the recent no point by group was an absolute shit show for the first few groups......Joey can attest But yeah, a properly prepped e9x is probably a 60k build.and increased consumables. Also the V8 is a tad harder to work with if you have a change a sensor. However not by much as once the plenum is off (5 mins) just about everything in the engine bay is accessible.... But still. I see some $$$$ builds in the paddock but very few e9x m3 ....and the few that are built either stay for sale due to high asking price or....just sits. |

However people forget; cheap to buy in. Expensive to stay in Cup cars aren't necessarily cheap to maintain as everything times out I did some SSM this past weekend and I understand the vibe. 40 car field. Cheap thrills. Slow as fuck. But it was a party Hate the amount of contact however..... |
