To answer some of the questions about my LCMT lap video, the only mods I have on my car are Nitto NT01s 275/35-18 all around, GC camber plates and PF08 brake pads. All the rest is stock. I try to keep mods to a minimum as I am firm believer that the part that needs to most improvement is the one between the seat and the steering wheel .

As for tires, not all street tires or r-comps are created equal. The NT01s are relatively mild r-comps and give me about 2 seconds a lap compared to my PSS (I run 1:57s with the PSS). The NT01 are worth about 1 second compared to NT05s or AD08s. More aggressive r-comps like Hoosiers will cut another 1 to 2 seconds compared to the NT01s. The reason I use r-comps is that street tires just melt away when pushed harder and it becomes quite expensive...

Hopefully I'll see some of you at the track this summer
You instructing on aug 19 and 20?

If so see you then
