Cayman GT4 GT4 Porsche Track Car Track Day
 After owning this car for 8 months and doing quite a few thousand street miles and 4 track days it is easy to see why it gets such rave reviews. My interest in performance street cars is track based. Heading to the track for an open track day is where I find the enjoyment of sports cars and performance. There have been quite a few different street cars and race cars through my garage, and all used in various ways so let's call that a solid base to make comparisons. Up until this point arguably the best car I have...

The Acura Integra Street / Track car project continues to roll and we are continuing with the theme of making incremental changes to seeing the results at the track.

Part 2 included street friendly suspension parts that picked up over 2.5 seconds of lap time. Part 3 was planned to be a slight increase in power with an intake/header/exhaust setup...

The current configuration of the car has it running the Bridgestone RE71r 225/45/17 tires and being driven to the track, turning laps all day and driving it back home.

Just go to the track. High Performance Driver Education. I constantly have conversations with people about the track hobby. The barrier of entry is actually very small but yes, it can be intimidating to get out there for your first time.

And honestly all you really need is a car that is in good mechanical condition with usable tires and brake pads. So many of these conversations involve the person waiting to do...
