Well i’d though i’d post up after 1200 miles and 3 solid weekends of track on my stock (except for dual catch can x pipe and brake cooling deflectors) Dark Horse HP car. The biggest performance trait seems to be the brakes. I can out brake almost everyone in the big boy groups. This is a big advantage im finding out as well as i pulled 1.5 g’s yesterday with the stock setup. Previous best was 1.38. I think this is pretty impressive stuff and after all this it still has some brake pad left. I hear they are ferrado pads but when i take them off i’ll know for sure hopefully. No temp issues in AZ engine trans or diff. Brakes are good no fade at all. This car is pretty good. I keep getting faster in it as i learn to trust the brakes and get on the gas earlier and get more comfortable in car. Had an instructor ride along and various drivers and they were amazed at the brakes and cornering. It does lose out on the straights to blown cars but overall it a top class ride makes me look like a hero and everyone impressed with the car. It’s gonna make me competitive in upper time trial groups with the lap times at my club. But i still need a real race car for race group. Overall pretty amazing car and can run with the porches

Interested to see what the gloc 16/12 compares on braking
