I'd say most products on the market for the M3 are functional (to varying degrees and efficiency) but for the most part, they aren't bad.

Here is a lap in my viper on the new surface. Snow still on the ground

Very nice driving. Great lines.

My car has the Bpm tune and gts DCT along w test pipes (cat removal).
Vorschlag camber plates and ST BbK/pagid rs29 w NT01 rubber.

I want to improve the car making it feel more planted and connected to the road. I'm used to feeling very planted and firm and this car feels too floaty with massive weight transfers.
It handled well but I know it can be improved so thinking suspension and roll bars.

The 2.5 camber up front seem spot on.

Looks like a totally different track, but must be awesome to drive on now. Remember it being a bit bumpy, but looks real nice now, and how much faster, if at all, do you think it is now? Might have to make another trip to the east coast again this year

Peter Krause (resident VIR expert) and Connie (owner of VIR who I had drinks with at the tavern!!) - suggest the new pavement and widened lines are the equivalent of 2 seconds.
Some of the more advanced drivers I was with during David Murray's 2 track day's also agree it's about 2 seconds faster (full course).

Awesome! I'll take 2 seconds
