Last year, the car was in TTB, and my weight to power was 10.6 (just shy of the 10.5 limit). This year, the TT4 rules are a little different. The weight to power ratio is is limited to 12:1. However, that number is deceiving because the class calculator applies modification factors to your actual weight to power ratio based on mods and car attributes. For example, i get +0.2 for having a 4 door, +.07 for running 245 size tires (even though 245 hoosiers are really 265/275's) and -0.5 for being AWD etc. My peak weight/hp ratio is 10.8, but with all the modification factors, it comes to 12.009 (just 0.009 above the allowed minimum value of 12.0 lbs/hp). Last year, the car had a slightly better weight/hp ratio, but was on NT01's and stock suspension. This year, the car is on ohlins, has hoosiers and Aero and has dropped about 75 lbs. During testing at the Glen last week, I turned a 2:08.5 lap not even pushing the car, still just trying to find the limits of the tires. My best time last year at the same track was a 2:13.xx
Doesn't look like you did a whole lot on weight reduction, what'd you get it down to?
It's 3440 with me in it and a full tank of gas, so the car by itself is around 3250 lbs with a full tank of gas. Quite a bit lighter than stock (about 300 lbs to be exact).

Thai, it's Mike haha. I swear I hate you so much right now for dropping a class. I thought you said you were going to let me win some contingencies before you dropped down to TT4! How am I supposed to pay for tires now? Chad says you're a bum and he's dropping your car haha
Had this trunk and wing sitting in my garage for nearly 7 years now. Got them painted and installed along with a trunk spoiler. Really looking forward to tracking later this season now!

Have you noticed an improvement in oil temps adding I believe what is the evo 6 ducting for the oil cooler?
. Question: doesn't that hanging badge screw with you? I couldn't take my eyes off of it
