So this is fourth day at track with the new car. I’ve picked up five seconds over the four days new FTD 2:05. For comparison my track built ISF at 3600lbs full bolt ons on R comps did a 2:00 flat. So a 2:05 stock at 4,040 lbs isn’t too shabby. Lol my buddy’s was also there in his Solar Flare F. His car is a non TVD
You’ll want to get aos soon!
my car pukes a ridiculous amount of oil per session on track. Can’t imagine the varnish & carbon build up without that catcher.
Good lap! That looks like a fun, not overly technical track as well. The mods and some different tires should have you running the same or better than your ISF even without shedding weight. Question though... I thought you were actively selling the car? If so, why mod it?
Great video. Lots left on the table. 2:05 with basically stock and street tires is very impressive. R-compounds alone can shave get to very low 2s. Once you get full bolt-ons and tune (~ 445 whp), R-compounds, you will be under 2:00 pretty easily even without weight reduction.

Lol well I’ll probably keep it besides got to enjoy it while I have. It. I think tasteful professionally done mods can add value. It’s been my experience with last three cars I sold all for well over kbb.
I think I hit 130 but I was full bolt ons about 424 wheel and weighing only 3600 lbs. I think I can get few more mph out of rcf I’m spinning rears bad on start after turn 19 down to second gear to front straight and I’m braking a little earlier bc stock brakes. I’m sure they can handle it fine but I was running full race pads, two piece rotors, braided lines and synthetic brake fluid on the old car.

Are you thinking about suspension mods, stiffer bushings etc.? Seems like full bolt-ons and racing slick tires alone should shave off a lot.
Absolutely, positively, you got to have the RR penske Coilover. That to me is thee most critical mod anyone can do to the RCF. Car dynamics gets improved unbelievably.
Even the street-able coilover with the lower spring rate makes a humongous difference. Car will be wheezing through corners at unbelievable speeds. Your traction off the line will also tremendously improve as the car will be able to quickly and efficiently put down all that power to the road.
I have had a couple of friends who own Porsches drive my car and be blown away how well the car handles. RCF goes from heavy under-steer when on stock suspension to dead on neutral balance with the RR Penske. You can easily dance the car to over-steer at will with the throttle giving you predictable response.
