well we just did a event with wrl this weekend and won the gpx class and got the rx8 weight and we are 2,477 lbs with full tank of fuel.the car ran great but the rain just killed our lap times best we did was a 2:02 and this was at carolina motorsport park.

i cant wait to get to ra next year we are going to be 8 seconds faster without any issue im now sure about that.we plan to lose more weight with lighter wheels

we just did a race at amp this weekend to compare lap times of were are car is now from were it was last time we went there with the car being a automatic. we are 8.5 seconds faster.and to be honest I think we could have done a second faster with larger front tires

last year at amp we did a 1:45.895 this weekend we did a 1:37.204

so now I think when we go to road Atlanta again we will be about 8-9 seconds faster as we plan to do a few more things to the car before ra

I have a 2005 6MT, running fairly narrow 225/40/18 BFG Rivals on stock wheels, Bilstein B12 kit and Hotchkis sways, kind low on compression and horsepower, and was able to turn 1'49" actual, 1'48" optimal. The intake and exhaust are all stock, and I have a completely stock/full interior. So my car is basically stock with an okay suspension.

were you running a transponder to confirm your lap times?

No. I used Racechrono on android. It's usually reasonably close (a few tenths) to the transponder in my NASA TT Integra.

It is a (very) underprepared SCCA E Production car. (overweight and underpowered)
