.Thanks for posting up your time. These posts have given me a much better idea of where I should be. It may be strange to say, but I have the best dreams in the world - Finding places on this track to be faster. I know I will be in the low 2:40's next time out, and will get faster with each event. I cant wait until next year!
If anyone else has weight/hp/and times, please post them up. Thanks!

At least that's my undersanding of rotary sorcery...

That's the correct mindset. So many people want to throw money at their car in pursuit of quicker lap times, when they're nowhere near driving the car to its potential. Just keep honing your skills, you'll get there.

). Heeding advice from my father (Been having fun racing for 30 years) and my tuner, it was decided to go conservative so that I can hone in on developing driving skills properly. I am at 7psi and 250rwhp. Loren, thanks as always for the comments.

After riding shotgun in your car (2:47) and in the Z06 (2:36) I know you can get a lot more out of your current setup. You've got just as much tire on the ground (although a little less sticky ) and you're car has a pretty decent weight advantage.
If you get on it a little earlier in the corners, trust your rubber on the sweepers, and remember that "rev matching is our friend" I have every confidence you can break into the very low 2:40's maybe 2:30's
I'm no suspension guru either, but I'm pretty sure those coil overs didn't come out the box set up for the track
either.

On RA1's + Coilovers, 2:39.
3500lbs worth of car and driver, 275whp. I think that vid is in my signature.
Stock, 2:44 I think. This was my 2nd or 3rd time out.
If I can do another weekend I think I'll be able to get down to a 2:35.
Have been to Sebring a handful of times and first set foot on a race track in October of last year, never drove any sort of sports car before February of last year.
