Got to run my '03 again at Portland yesterday. We put some Wilwood 6 pistons on the front of it after the first tioe we ran it and went right thru the pads that came with them. I called Wilwood and They had me purchase Polymatrix E - great combination plenty of initial bite and great modulation.
We started running 4 of the tight corners in 2nd gear instead of 3rd and it was moocho faster with gobs of torque coming out. I'd go in with lots of brake, heel and toe (T56), and stand on the brakes with the side of my foot to the turn in point. Once we got the braking and shift points figured out it worked very well - I may have missed one shift for the day. Almost spun it at 12 from shifting too late (late braking), but got out of it and sheepishly drove away.
Ran down a couple of 911 looking things in the last session, one being a Turbo. Overheated the blower cooling system and ran out of fuel nearly simultaneously and had to pull off early. I don't think the air conditioning compressor was happy with it either.
Sent a couple of young guy's out with it today and they were running 110 (2nd and 3rd) and all was good.
The 03 Cobras are neat cars - I need to retire mine.
Brent - a cool 430 will make a great FIA for me.
