This was my second time and VIR and I really learned how much I don't know about driving fast on a track. Braking confidently was my biggest issue because I always feared I would fade and go off. A lot to work on but I was putting a hurting on a lot of BMW M cars .

The VR-4 fares pretty well for a 22 year old GT car.

That was awesome! That one guy parked it in every corner, didn't he? How long do tires last, 10 minutes?

Awesome! That's one of the best tracks in the country, hands down. What tires are you running?

That looks like so much fun!!! I love the 3000GT VR4. My brother has a pearl white 3000GT SL with a 5-speed manual, it's such a sweet car.

I've always loved the 3000GT! Very nice.

I'm still learning VIR on Forza 6 haha... What you've gotten to do is nothing but a far fetched dream for me. Enjoy it.

The place looks wrong with the oak tree gone.

3000gt are fun cars.

Thanks a lot guys! I'm running new Potenza Pole Position S-04's. It definitely worn them down a bit but I expect at least 5 track days out of them. They rank under Pilot Super Sports and are street tires. I'm trying to learn how to drive before going with stickier rubber.

Looks like you were "smooth" on the track... Much more important than horse power. That was a good piece of driving my friend,

Well done for your second time. You tagged most of the corner marker rumble strips while maintaining smooth. The better you get, the worse your stock brakes will feel/perform. For starters, I would change to DOT 4 brake fluid and steel braided brake lines.
This is a slippery slope. As you progress eventually you'll realize that the stock brakes don't cut it at all. LOL
Nice Job.

Upgrades get addictive ...

That looks like a lot of fun, nice driving!

DSM, FTW.

I had a '91 Talon, no turbo, FWD- but I set it up to handle. Always enjoyed blowing away the big-turbo, AWD Mitsus and Subies through the corners. Had matched-rate set of springs, KYB adjustable struts and shocks, big tight struts bars, and Dunlop Sport 225/50ZR16 in front and 255/50ZR16 in rear (they fit with substantial unibody vs tire-sledgehammer body bubbaing). I could take decreasing radius off-ramps at 75+, top end of 3rd, and into 4th and off like a rocketship after the apex. Took one turn so hard I snapped my windshield (backed the strut bar off after that).

Ah, the days of being really young, working a cash job, and feeling invincible.

Nice piece of driving, I have had some wheel time with a 3kGTVR4 and they can be a handful of understeer! Good job keeping the rubber on the road

Enjoy your brake upgrade LOL. It is a slippery slope.

The upgrades are definitely addictive. I have been building the car with supporting mods since I bought it 7 years ago to prepare for a turbo upgrade. This is what I've done so far. The stock brakes actually did pretty well this time with track pads, shims, and extra cooling from the deflectors.

Track Prep:
RBF600 flush before every track event
New rotors
Carbotech XP10's front and Hawk HP+ rear
0.5mm titanium shims front
GTO MR Brake Ducts
New ball joints

Mods:
Turbo back exhaust (no cats) [precat eliminators, DNP downpipe, 3SX test pipe, M2 catback]
Halman RX Pro boost controller set at 14psi
1 stage colder plugs and new wires
3SX Single Pass Radiator
DSM side mounts
Power antenna delete
Wiper fluid bottle delete
Enkei RPF-1's (40lb loss over stock wheels)
Tein S-Tech springs with 3SX rear control arms
Poly motor mounts
3SX fuel loop
Evo MR BOV (recirc)
3SX Preturbo pipes
3SX Stinger fiberglass hood (not installed yet) 15lb loss
3SX lightweight stock size pulley (5lb loss)
BigTyla ground kit

Mods before next event:
Stainless brake lines
ADDCO front way bar
Full poly bushings kit
EGR and Vac delete

Awesome!!

I have been autocrossing a bit the past couple months in my new Camaro. Track days increase maintanance costs substantially so I keep the big gal dodging cones...but someday I wanna buy something light and bonkers for track and time attack events...

Real life Gran Turismo!!

Good luck and keep us updated!

That certainly looks like fun!

... but it's a lot of wrenching for a few hours of driving, huh?
