Wow..... Consider this thread subscribed.. Awesome write up so far I definitely want to see what else you have in store with this car. What road racing events do you go to? any Redline Time Attacks?

Thanks. I generally stick with NASA and PCA club events in Arizona and New Mexico. Planning a trip to Miller Motorsports in July, and perhaps a few more out of AZ this year. Looking into Redline Time Attacks, but haven't ventured that direction yet. Prob would target Street Class if so.

Just started a new track thread. I will use this thread to capture video and share thoughts after each event. Here it is:

It will take a couple hours for upload and processing to Youtube, so if you're reading this SAT afternoon - give it some time and go catch up on Le Mans !

Video was pretty much a bust - didn't have the camera positioned well... sucks... will be much better next time out... I did get some great data and figuring out where the ideal braking points are on this track, along with gear selections and entry/exit speed targets... really digging this traqmate/chasecam combo

Updated OP with project list... I think this car is just about ready for a Time Attack series! Now I just need to find the time for more driving!

Do it! :D

UPDATE: I'm done messing around with brakes... c/o Stillen, AP Racing Big Brake Kit on the way in competition gray, with slotted rotors, and Mintex Xtreme pads. I figure that combined with some serious cooling should do the trick! Thanks Josh for hooking me up!

I should have these installed and reviewed following my Miller Motorsports event in July

Yes, I am going apeshit with this car!

LOL.. 'apeshit'.. I love it! And love the color/pattern choice.. mmmmm

Agree! 'Competition gray' will look great behind matte black Forgestar wheels! Red is overplayed and black wouldn't stand out at all. Josh, feel free to insert a few more details on the kit here if you like... I liked your point on other website about the top 6 cars on Top Gear test track!

Another quick update... side impact air bags are now removed... estimated weight savings only ~5lbs for both assemblies and related fasteners

My blog is down.. not sure who I'm not paying around here.. LOL That has the list, and I have an expanded one.. I'll edit this post to add some more juicy details on the kit, and some cars that come OE with AP Racing. Usually anytime money isn't involved, AP Racing is chosen..

Take the Nissan GT-R R35 FIA-GT1 car.. AP Racing

Ok Google's cache has the list:

Top 10 Lap Times on Top Gear
1. Gumpert Apollo (AP Racing)
2. Ascari A10 (AP Racing)
3. Koenigsegg CCX (AP Racing)
4. Pagani Zonda F (AP Racing)
5. Caterham R500 (AP Racing)
6. Bugatti Veyron (AP Racing)
7. Maserati MC12 (Brembo)
8. Ferrari Enzo (Ferrari / Brembo)
9. Ariel Atom (Alcon)
10. Lamborghini LP560 (Brembo)

It's also extensively used in Formula 1, Nascar, WRC.. the list is huge. For example, two weeks ago Nascar Sprint Cup went to Pocono, a notoriously hard race track on brakes. Despite all of the relationships, money thrown around (AP doesn't sponsor ANYONE, everything is paid for in motorsports), that all goes out the window, and 9 out of the top 10 finishing cars were using AP Racing..

Effin awesome, I am happy someone finally bit the bullet :) I've been playing with the idea for a while, but too much spending on the car lately haha.

Congrats Travis, you are going to have one of the fastest 370's on earth soon :) Second only to tuners and that Nurburgring 24 hours yellow one. Tires and you will be very very quick around the track.

I really cant wait to see the results.

Yeah, I'm psyched about this one... Hopefully they live up to their rep! It'll be nice to have 99.9% confidence in the brakes.

I'll post a separate thread, but FS: sport package brake kit

hehe, I got a buyer for ya. PM me....

It will be very interesting to see if this actually makes a difference. Definitely another league of braking, but I'm afraid that the problem still might poke through.

What problem Chris?
