Nice driving. The car looks so planted, especially the rear. Seems like you've done a great job setting it up.

How would your car compare to say, a 1Le 6th gen? I have a 2023 1ss but, the 4th gen’s are still my favorite.

Tough to say since it's driver dependent, but my guess is that I'd be a little faster in an SS1LE if I got an opportunity to track one a bunch. Pros compared to my Bird are more power, much wider tires, electronic nannies (eLSD, ABS, traction control, stability control, revmatching), IRS, and a more rigid chassis. The only cons are more weight and macpherson struts on the front. My car is going to feel a lot more raw/analog in comparison and makes the driver work harder since it's basically a big V8 gokart. I plan on adding more power and wider tires in the future which should make them even. My current setup is a little conservative.

do u have anything that lets u heel-toe when u downshift or is it stock pedals?

[@JunkRacecars]

@@epicduck0067 I have a spacer on the throttle pedal that extends it towards the brake

[@wideopenthrottle1165]

What's your exhaust system?

[@JunkRacecars]
