I'm on 205 nt-01 and 2.5 seconds behind the sm record. Tomorrow should be more fruitfull. Regardless of the lap times, I'm having fun with my car again, competitive or not. Btw, 210whp feels slow.

Happens when you get going fast on a track. IIRC they were brand new before this day.

I am on aircard internet so I can't actually see the photos, but I'm fairly certain they are from my car, so:
-Either the pad is tapered evenly from one side to the other, which is just normal use with crappy single-piston calipers. The pads don't wear evenly when you really press them hard.
-Or, the pads are just ******* destroyed, bent backing plates, the whole kit and kaboodle, which happens when you take said crappy single-piston calipers to Laguna Seca and hammer on them for 2 days.

By the time I had any confidence n the car to hot lap, the brakes were gone... and I'm on 6.5" wide wheels with 205's. John and. Were discuss our inAbility to eclipse sm lap record times and I've come up with a laundry list of excuses that I'm going to employ until i get to a horsepower friendly track. I managed to go 10-seconds faster than I did the last time I drove this car.
