Being able to stay in the powerband through all the shifts is a really big deal.
Unfortunately, a good sequential costs as much as my whole car

Exactly...I will stick with my 6r80 paddles and a regear to 3.73 (and a torque converter upgrade)

Was looking at some lap data.
Here's a good indicator of how fast this car is going to be. Here's my apex speed at T2 on my best ever lap at COTA (2:21.07). 96mph

Same spot on the first time I pushed it through there - 105mph.

it's going to be an absolute riot

RESPECT the kink at Road America !! Also, your seat height should help you see your next impute better ?? I hope I’m not the only one who offered the advice on the kink as they will at the drivers meeting. I love the kink but respect it as well !! See you in a few weeks !!!

it's a huge bummer how cost prohibitive they are - mine was like 17.5k landed after everything (not including any electronics). No idea how the guys racing Hondas, Toyotas, Vauxhauls, etc. in the UK justify them. must be cheaper for them.

Guess I'll just have to keep chipping away at them as is....1000# over weight and 230 HP short of the rule.

I felt this pain emotionally and spiritually

Yep - I raised it two inches and it feels pretty good now. Should help with turn in points and such ha

And I've wrecked in the kink enough in iRacing to know I need to take care ha
