Yes Sub 30's is simple, if I did low 2:30s on street tires, I mean full street, not R compound.
I'm sure I can shave another 5-6 seconds on Hoosiers, that would put the car on the 2:27-2:28 range.
I did a 2:27 with the Gtr in full stock trim, and lifting on the front straight away, with passenger, as I didn't want to kill the tires or pads ( I had my track car at the day)
My opinion is that not just raw speed counts. There are tons of faster cars than my RS, but I just love how the car feels and communicate with me, and also how it stays together after thousands of track miles.
Was there last weekend on Sunday with PBOC. 95F and I threw some narrow hoosiers for the first time, and pulled a few 2:18 in the car. My car is stock, with just toe links for alignment and camber arms, to get rid of the rubber. Other than that is stock.
For that reason I really don't agree that the C63 is a capable for track duty, but don't get me wrong, I love the car for what it is and I like it better than the GTR for street use.

I would like to see what you could do with my set up as you sound like a more experienced driver.

Let me know when you will be there. I'll be over in June for instruction, and will bring the C again, see if it survives the heat, but only for a day.
It will be a pleasure.
Here is a video from the 48hs, running RA1 R comp. Me and my friend Peter on the white GT3RS, going after a few GT3Cup on slicks.
Fun times.

Damn, that car has some power !
I guarantee you that with the video set up that car can go around 2:28 - 2:29
Nice driving, just with a little bit more seat time, you will get there.
If you allow me to say, a few points between 3,4,5 I choose to use a tighter line, I picked up some good time doing that.

Getting closer & closer! Is there a lot of modification on new BS bumper to put on old C63 body? With the BS bumper, we also need a new grill since the old grill won't fit the new BS bumper, am I right?
this is going to be awesome!

The front lip was even more.
I'll keep you updated.

I am doing this now so everyone will know whether or not they are bolt on parts and they are for the most part. Some plastic pieces need to be trimmed and slightly modified for the front bumper to fit but its not difficult.
I believe Revozport and/or Stone Carbon will be making some BS parts that are similar to the originals.

Looks awesome Keith! Any chance there might be a version of just the bumper without the use of wider fenders?
