Nice! I only pulled off 2.34. Perfect day to be out there.

Nice seeing you out there again. Next time we should park closer in the pits. Track conditions were perfect! Once happy hour hit, it was great. It became difficult to get clean laps in with green group traffic. I finally got solo today, so I was off the leash in terms of pushing it more.

Nice driving! We take very similar lines, particularly 13-16, but you’re faster.

Check the 5 minute mark, I talked to the guy on YouTube. Cool guy

Very Cool!!!! Thanks guys! Porsche has me on the power it seems. I'm 348 whp. I may go to boosted someday so I can hang with the big boys. I'm out there again this weekend (26th). Hope to see you there.

Frustrating day at Sebring yesterday. Consistently hitting 2:32 over and over and over, but can’t get faster for one reason: “ice mode”. Put me four wheels off twice and almost caused me to rear-end two cars. That shook my confidence in my brakes, which obviously puts a major hurt on lap times. I need to get this issue resolved, or I’ll have to start looking for a different car (not a 370 of course), which would be a shame. I do love the car other than this issue. I have read a lot of threads on this forum where people identify the ice mode issue, but I’ve not read about viable solutions. It’s not a heat issue - it’s an ABS issue. And a full racing ABS will be north of $8K. I called the guys at Z1 and they just talked about heat. Any advice would be appreciated. I’ll try anything. Thanks guys!

Change your braking technic. The way you apply the brakes. Instead of smashing the brake pedal down quickly. Slow up your applied pressure some.

Thanks Rusty. I’ll try it.

Elmo370z

Yeah I’ve never hit ice mode on with my Z, and I’ve all four rotors smoking when coming off the track. I would suggest try what Rusty said and see if that helps, or contact SS firehawk. He is hard on the brakes as well and he ran a 2:30 around Sebring.

I was thinking overnight: The ice mode issue has gotten much worse since I put in my Nismo Pro Diff set for 2way. I’m wonder if that’s contributing to my issue since it changes lockup dynamics on decelerations. Luckily it’s adjustable to 1.5 way, and it may be worth changing. Any thoughts? Thanks.
