Sounds like it. Just used to the PR guys hastily posting up a new thread from the track with the time and no info. Glad to hear Lucas gained some time, and I look forward to a full write-up when he has time.

That's because the PR guys are DIE HARD track fanatics. Congratz on the excellent times Lucas. Anyone know what the trap speeds were?

Damnit, I forgot to ask another important question. What was the 60ft?

As were the 99 Galant.

That is correct. Didn't the 2000 Galant also have the twin piston calipers as well? I coincidently have a 99 Galant sitting in my driveway right now that will be donating it's calipers to my Evo along with some aftermarket drilled/slotted rotors that SHOULD be lighter then the stock galant rotors on the next track day if I can secure 15inch rims with slicks.

The best part about it all is it will cost me a total of $180-$200 to put a "mini" brake kit on my car with buying two new aftermarket front rotors, new pads, and a caliper paint kit to make it look presentable. It may not have the same stopping power as those $1200 brake kits but it will certainly be enough to stop the car post 1320.
