All I know is that if I plan on going faster than I do now, I'd rather be in a factory made race car. GT3 Cup cars are getting pretty cheap.

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..... |

Oof, he's lucky to be uninjured (I bet he's sore AF though). I run a 4-point harness and HANS, but watching this makes me want to put in a half cage, bucket, and 6-point. I like to tell myself I don't push hard enough to need more than what I have at the moment, but this is a reminder that I'm likely lying to myself...

My initial plan was to install a Slon panel between the rear seat and trunk, along with a harness bar. I wanted a clean look without adding back in weight that I would be removing with rear seat removal. That said, even if a half cage isn't NASA/SCCA spec, I'd imagine that to be a safer alternative? |

I like that some of them come ready to go with fresh rebuilds, several sets of wheels, and sometimes spares. The drawback is that you still have to deal with issues and part failures where it's not easy to find spares or troubleshooting information.

Track tires are track tires, I watched a lot of spins on cars in the wet at VIR for folks than only brought 200tw track sets. |

For 18-inch wheels, I go for 275/35/18. For staggered OEM ZCP, I opt for 275/35/19 and 305/30/19. The V730s tires run narrow, so don't worry too much about the widths. They'll be closer to 265/35/19, 295/30/19, or 265/35/18 if using the 18-inch option. Another great option that won't break the bank and serves as an excellent semi-track day / daily tire is Conti ECS 02 (340TW). Priced under $1600, depending on sizing, I use them in 285/30/18 for my daily and canyon driving. Yes, it's overkill to go square in this size, but it's more for the stance—lol. The same concept applies to tracking a PS4S: higher cold PSI, max hot 40psi, and don't drive the tires to their limit if you want them to last. They also have great water evacuation. Personally, I think they perform better in the rain than the PS4S. They also offer a wide range in 19-inch sizes. You can opt for 265/35/18 with 295/30/19 if you want to be precise on sizing.. I've had good experiences with the Supercar 3 (220TW) as mentioned by Cmassey3 , which come in the same aforementioned sizes as above for 19s, but limited to 275/35/18..if you have 18s. these are usually around $1300 as well. ECS 02 (340TW)- https://www.tirerack.com/tires/conti...ntact-sport-02 V730 (200TW) - https://www.tirerack.com/tires/kumho-ecsta-v730 Supercar 3 (220TW) - https://www.tirerack.com/tires/goody...-f1-supercar-3

Thank you all; I have 2 sets of wheels, both stock 19" bmw, and I keep one with winter tires. I had bad experience with the Goodyears on my previous 2013 Shelby GT500... almost crashed it twice on cold tires.
Those tires could not stick on 3rd gear until warmed up, but that was a 670HP monster EDIT: I remember they were the earlier version of supercar 2 or something, definitely not V3. I think the kumhos look good and are a good option; how do they behave on street when cold and wet (not winter cold, just not warmed up) ?

There will be a tradeoff somewhere. Your current PSS will get torn apart if you track regularly or if you are putting down decent lap times. BUT they will give you far better wet traction when needed. Just need to find the balance that makes you happy. |
