I thought the list was released?

If we need to slow down the ford, we can take some tire out of it. It's freakin a barrel of monkeys in stock tune. feels really good.

ok. did a 1:59.2 in the Ford at full tire/full weight reduction but stock front and rear bumpers... this feels too fast so I decided to put stock width tire on it and still managed a 1:58.886 at PI 949 with just race weight reduction...so i think this is still too fast.

the ford definitely has straight line speed adavantage over the mazda. i'm hitting 172-173 before i'm on the brakes where the mazda i'm at 165-166

took the 1st restrictor off the mazda and i did a 1:57.8 so that's out of the question.

Threw the Road course bumpers on the ford and that really takes it top speed down.

with the ford at PI935 adjustable bumpers/race weight/full tires i'm doing high 2:00.0's which is about where I was with the Mazda at PI961 with rear tire 335

So I guess my final P2 Builds would be

Ford DP - PI 935 Full race weight/adjustable bumpers f+R/full tire wide F+R
Mazda P2 - PI 963 Full Width Tires front and rear

This slows the ford's top speed down enough but it still has grunt/grip out of the corners

While i think the mazda might be a smidge faster than the ford with the front and rear width tires, i think the ford is easier to drive in traffic so it's a decent compromise.

this is going on 4+ hours of lapping between the two cars tonight around COTA.

thoughts?

24 hours is too short of a time frame to fully test a car, just saying

I will begin testing at Sebring tonight as I've been trying to balance the car at Daytona for the invitational but as its been scraped its kind of been a waste of time

I'll have times for most of the VEC tracks by midnight EST

My work and sleep pattern is everywhere at the minute, but i'll try my best to get some times out. Does anyone know the build for the Mazda?

Mazda had a rear width as it was the sole P2 car but it's a case of getting the 2 working together now so it's from scratch.
