Looks like a pretty competent package, and that guy can DRIVE! Not bad for 4000 lbs, I thought. What are you guys running for lap times at VIR? What cars, what mods? I wonder how competetive the 1LE will be in SCCA, CMC, etc? Discuss. This may be my next track day car, once they're used and affordable . . . |

The new 1LEs will be cool for sure. The problem is the weight. You can make them into capable track cars, but be prepared to spend some cash. The one I've tracked is amazing, but it has 15"+ front brakes, 640RWHP, and weighs ~4400lbs with me in the seat. Good enough for a 1:21 flat on street tires at Putnam Park in 104* heat, it ran cool the entire time, the ABS is bad ass, and it was totally driveable.
The downside is that you better be able to afford the consumables, because the weight likes to chew through them. This post has been edited by nape: Aug 7 2012, 05:50 PM |
