I joined the club over the weekend, picked up a Gentian Blue 718 GTS 4.0. This car is amazing. Joined PCA in Golden Gate Region and am starting to plan track days. My plan is to do the HPDE event at Thunderhill in April. I’ve tracked my STI there before, a long time ago, but this car is a whole new thing. I’m excited! Here’s the options list. Having this thing debadged and with black rotors makes it a teeny bit of a sleeper.

Aquila posted:Congratulations. This is basically my T with the 4.0L H6, I am envious. I think my PCA chapter (CCCR) and Golden Gate share some events, so we may see each other. I've so far registered for local Autocross, Buttonwillow in May, and Laguna Seca in June. I will be at button willow and laguna as well! Will shoot you a PM.

I threw some 245/35 and 295/30 cup2s on the 718 for my upcoming Thunderhill weekend, upgrading from the PS4s. I’m still learning tire management at the track, the PS4 lasted 8500 miles and 4 track days. I’m still continually surprised how every time I drive the car it puts a smile on my face. I really didn’t expect that.

Buy a Cayman or Boxster, use the savings to send your clubs in their own taxi cab.

I bought a new 718 to replace my GTS 4.0. I really loved my GTS 4.0 but I found myself making too many upgrades to it and wanted to put a stop to that. Cannot wait to take this out to the track.

Pr0kjayhawk posted:Holy poo poo. Congrats! drat good choice. Track insurance helps to a point, but the deductible is still pretty high. Honestly I just don't think about it. I walk to work and don't really need to own a car at all. It would be sad to have a problem at the track but I bought it to use it, it is not meant to sit in the garage with dust over it. I plan to put some miles on it. After this I think it makes more sense to have a Clubsport and some sort of comfortable tow vehicle. It would be about the same cost, and this car is so powerful that driving it on the street at all is a bit ridiculous.

SlapActionJackson posted:I've been in one on track. AMA Did they modify the front and rear aero for maximum attack prior to the track day? I’m having track suspension setup done and max downforce set when it’s in having the harness bar done.
