It's too bad you weren't like 10mins earlier when he did first start it up, sounded good!

Still have yet to meet the lovely "Mrs.Willz83Z28", I bet she was wondering why TraviZ had such a low voice hahhahahaha.

Well, damn, it's about time Eric. Bet you are glad Robby, car will finally be yours and drivable too. I know it's going to improve a lot the more you own it, good luck, hope to see you out in it this summer. Have to take her to the track too.

Pretty sure my calipers are the alum. pbr.
The rear rotors were almost 11.7", but I sold those to Travis a few months ago.
I have just the fronts for sale now, 10.5" I believe. Yes, both were used, but barely.

Why what's up with your swapping?
I'll probably change my calipers/pads sometime this month.

I see how it is, Will is all talk ha. So maybe I am. The only reason I never took the CFI to the track is because I am selling it now. The GTO is going for sure, I was just waiting for it to hit 1,000 miles first, which it now has since this weekend. Now the only thing holding me back will be getting a day off or at least getting a early shift so I can go. I will keep you guys updated.

Oh, the guy who sold me the car is taking his 06 red GTO to the track this Wed. around 4:30. He called and wanted me to come, but lucky me I have to work late and won't be able to make it out, totally sucks. He also has a 6spd. and the 18" wheels. Should be a very good comparison as far as track times go to my car. If anyone goes out check him out and see what he does. He is going to call me and let me know as well, I will post his times.

Well some people just suck period.

As for manual trans racing, you need as much seat time as possible IMO. Every car / setup is different and has it's own quirks.
