I run so many tight technical tracks around the Phoenix area, that is sort of what I've gotten used to and what my car is set up for. This is Wild Horse Pass West track (Bondurant West). It's only 1.1 miles long and has a tight carousel thats fun to drift the car around on.

NT01’s
Getting good mileage out of these, but I think these are just about done. Didn’t think it was a good idea driving home 200 miles on cords.

The Camaro’s in both variants sound great until you own one and actually take it to the track. I have 5 friends that have them and the three that heavily tracked theirs (and set some pretty smokin’ lap times locally on stock everything except takeoff slicks) said the consumables were just wayyy too high. All three have now sold them and gone onto different platforms. Custom offset wheels are a big purchase that has to happen to run the right tires, and even still they were going through brakes and tire sets in a matter of 3-4 days. Car is just way too heavy.

These are barely half worn. There are two tread "depth levels" to the NT01, the first 3/32" has more tread groove and the second 3/32" is almost a semi-slick with only two longitudinal grooves. Nitto say in their literature that the first 3/32" can be shaved off for optimal dry performance. Your tires are shot when the "wear holes" and longitudinal grooves in the tread disappear. I've run quite a few fast laps with cord showing on my NT01 . Those tires a very stout .

GM consumables $ as compared to BMW though? Apex offers affordable Camaro wheel fitments. Sorry, it's a bit funny when M enthusiasts downplay the track readiness of another platform... Chevy dealer will dial in (GM spec) track alignment, exchange fluids for track use, you're out the door for the price of a BMW oil change. Car's stock limitations/durability won't be touched by the vast majority of DE participants. Push the limits, run slicks, etc. then yeah, select mods are probably a good idea. So, put 1/2 as much into an SS 1LE as you do an E9X or F8X and see what you get.

Not that NT01's are any good in the wet in any condition, but you really can't run them in standing water now. That's your use limitation. Sounds like you drive to and from. Need to get some tire totes and start swapping them at the track. You can fit 4 in a CS, yeah? 1 trunk, 1 passenger, 2 in back seat.

I don't feel it's worth it to do that for NT 01s. The RE71 is as fast, lasts as long and is way better in wet. What I run now is a set of RE71 for the 'street' and R1 in the back seat for the track |

Ran into this the other day. Stock SS 1LE w/ pads. For those who haven't been, 2:22 at Sebring is really not f'ing around territory.

My first time at Chuckwalla I was at 2:00. Havn't been back yet and would be much faster now (engine was stock then, added swaybars, stiffer springs, brakes, etc...)

2:00 is cooking there in an F8X. 1:57 is mid ST2 or ST3 pace.
http://timingscoring.drivenasa.com/N...%202-16-19.pdf Please ignore my last place GTS3 placing. My clutch pedal was giving out, I suck at that track, and Joe punted me off the track halfway through.
