Thank you for this.

Very cool, do you plan on racing the car?

ScullyD · 03-24-2021, 11:40 PM

Congrats ptgltw , was this for a racing team or to use as a track day car? Either way, can wait to hear some impressions.

Hedoniste · 03-25-2021, 01:42 AM

Awesome congrats!!

Mike

Happy 100th my friend

I'm chuffed to see you getting this wild beast, even more so knowing it has gone to a very happy home

Can't wait to see you stripping the asphalt off the track with it.

Safe driving my friend

msmatt · 03-25-2021, 08:05 AM

Just put your CS plate on it and rip it around the neighborhood! Congrats!

If your in the VIR area (Danville VA) , I'll be there end of April with the car.

There is a small chance I'll take it to cars and coffee and be one those Trailer it in guys and back it half way out guys lol.

Seriously thou, there was a guy who did that with an IMSA GT2 car and it was insane. Mine doesn't quite have the same panache but I might anyway.

Throw a hitch on the CS and trailer the CS racing to the cars and coffee. Instant legend status.

Lol. If I had an open trailer I could at least stage that once I got there

Too bad their isn’t a one make series here in the US or that would be the goal.

Check out WRL, there are some teams running 235iR/240iR cars with them.

Mad respect! Congrats.

CarJunkie · 03-31-2021, 12:01 AM

Do you have the option of running the full street tune, or is 365 the highest power available with the powersticks?

Given the absence of a vented hood, I wonder if it has reduced cooling capacity?

Daytona_550 · 03-31-2021, 11:21 AM

I hope Daytona is on your "track tour" schedule! Would love to see it in action. Congrats and enjoy it!

jessief29812 · 03-31-2021, 11:26 AM

This is awesome congratulations on the pickup

robertm · 03-31-2021, 01:06 PM

Very cool man. There is a guy here in Dallas that got one as well. He hasn't posted anything on here so not my place to call him out. He is a CCA racer as well though.

You are going to have many amazing memories with that car. ENJOY!!

Daytona_550 · 04-11-2021, 10:56 AM

Three M2CSRs running new TCX class on SRO! They looked lonely up front... hoping the class grows so we can appreciate some competitive action!

Yes there are two ways to get the 455 hp package. It's called the club Sport package and not the cup package.

You can buy from the factory. It's $145k vs $120k and includes the recaro seat and additional cooling and different brakes and the power stick.

Or retrofit with The Motorsport parts and have a shop install.

I'll be learning the car in cup form then when I'm ready I'll likely upgrade. The good news with the cup package is you get most if not all the factory torque. So maybe 140 mph down the back straight at VIR and not 150 mph but coming out of the corners should feel similar? Just guessing at the moment.

I like the idea of starting with the "momentum" package first so I can learn how to drive it properly. I'll be a better driver for it.

You are spot on about additional cooling needed for the bump in power. I could order a cf hood but I think I'll pass at this time anyway.

Can't wait to see videos of you in action

Safe driving

M1500Z · 04-12-2021, 02:43 PM

Cool car. You could potentially answer a question for me (and a few others). Given there is no headliner, is the CS roof put in place from the inside of the car or not? If you could provide some photos, that would great.

SYT_Shadow · 04-14-2021, 08:26 AM

Incredibly cool purchase! More people should do this! Congratulations!

flanast · 04-14-2021, 08:43 AM

Congratulations should be fun on the track. Which track do you consider your home track?

unfoundnemo · 04-14-2021, 09:02 AM

Is that Shell sticker something like the Sunoco Free Fuel 5000?

GOLFFRR · 04-14-2021, 09:07 AM
